In reply to Anonymous. Yeah definitely good question
Yeah definitely good question with no answer here. Currently I've tryed side position for wide angle but its looks like not good. Maybe best chise in this case ia flash above port as high as possible and little bit angeled UP to prewent backscatter. Am I right?

Really a great article.
I
Really a great article.

I want buy an arm set from ULCS, and you give me this doubt :

why buy a double arm set (to position the strobe on both side) if you can have a quick-release handle, so you can change default position (on the left) of the strobe by hand ?

Why position the strobe by and is not a good idea in digital uw photography ?

As someone just starting out
As someone just starting out in UW photography I have always been interested in super macro. I think the beauty of the photos shown above has set my mind on specializing in this area.

I am looking for a camera set up that will allow me to start off in this specialized arena. I am willing to forgo the usual upgrades over time and start off with an excellent camera arrangement from the beginning. I just happen to think this is the best route for me.

Your camera configurations look like they have some great advantages of reducing bulk and weight for traveling overseas and relatively easy handling on dive boats.

May I ask what camera, lens, housing and flash arraignment you are using and do any of the pictures of your camera and flash show the configuration for super macro? It does not appear that you are using a teleconverter and not being familiar enough with UW photography I can’t tell if you have diopter lenses installed. If so what is installed that makes it so streamlined?

When using super macro and dual flash do you find the need to use corrective filters? My inclination would be that you do not need them because of the short distances involved to the subject. Does your camera allow the use of filters should I ever expand outside super macro photograpy?

Any help would be appreciated.

PS Any tips on traveling and getting through the airports, types of luggage best suited for camera gear and preventing theft through airports would be greatly be appreciated in future topics. I have not seen a good article on this topic as of yet and having had electronic equipment stolen from my luggage in the past I would like to avoid this problem in the future.
