The lens and port combination I&#8217;d been using just wasn&#8217;t quite working for me and it seemed as though I was missing a lot of shots because I wasn&#8217;t using a macro setup. On the other hand I knew that if I put a macro lens and port on my camera I would probably be chased around the whole dive by a Whale Shark. The problem with a digital SLR rig is that you can&#8217;t change lenses underwater, so what you jump in with is what you have for the entire dive, like it or not! The solution&#8230; well there really isn&#8217;t one. I decided to go with a Nikkor 18-70mm Zoom Lens with a +4 close-up adaptor to sharpen the edges of the image. This would allow me the ability of wide angle if I needed it and would also let me get close-ups of the small stuff. Stay tuned for the results tomorrow!<\/p>\n<p>Here are some photos for &#8216;Christines&#8217; and &#8216;Half Pipe&#8217;&#8230; Enjoy!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/oceanimagery.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/03\/080209_img_004129.jpg\" alt=\"080209_img_004129.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Click this Link for more pictures&#8230;<!--more--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/oceanimagery.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/03\/080209_img_004103.jpg\" alt=\"080209_img_004103.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">\u00a0<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/oceanimagery.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/03\/080209_img_004249.jpg\" alt=\"080209_img_004249.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/oceanimagery.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/03\/080209_img_004239.jpg\" alt=\"080209_img_004239.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/oceanimagery.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/03\/080209_img_004270.jpg\" alt=\"080209_img_004270.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n\n<!-- Facebook Like Button v1.9.6 BEGIN [http:\/\/blog.bottomlessinc.com] -->\n<iframe src=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/like.php?href=http%3A%2F%2Foceanimagery.com%2Fjournal%2F2008%2F02%2F11%2Fmore-from-wakaya%2F&amp;layout=standard&amp;show_faces=false&amp;width=450&amp;action=like&amp;colorscheme=dark\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowTransparency=\"true\" style=\"border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height: 30px; align: left; margin: 2px 0px 0px 0px\"><\/iframe>\n<!-- Facebook Like Button END -->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Later\u00a0in the\u00a0evening after dinner, I had a chance to look through the photos I had taken for the day and decided to make some adjustments to my underwater camera system.
