Somethign new from me - in the surf
Posted: Mon May 12, 2008 3:15 pmOn a recent holiday I took my D200 and 10.5 mm fisheye for a swim. I have a lot to learn about this style of photography, but i was somewhat happy with my first offering.

Thanks mate - fixed them now. Not sure why but my host added "{" and "}" brackets to the codes? Annoying

The D200 + 10.5mm fisheye was in my aquatica housing with an 8inch dome. From memory, I was shooting in shutter priority mode at 1/160th or 1/200th and I think matrix or CWA metering. The fish eye seems to handle it all OK though, including the sun flare associated with shooting into the sun. It was an interesting experiment. Hard to get into position.
I should point out that I wasnt looking through the view finder to take these shots as the energy in the waves would have slammed the hosuing into my eye socket. They were all shot from the hip, so pointing the camera at the sun wasnt so much of a problem for my eyes.
