Triggerfish article

I've been testing a new optical slave trigger called the Triggerfish for about 10 days, for a review that was published on Wetpixel today. It is an excellent addition to me creative arsenal! Below is a picture of the Capernwray aircraft. I put two remote strobes in the cockpit and post-processing was done in Nik Silver Efex Pro 2.

More D7000 pictures

I was able to get underwater with the camera again this week. Over on Wetpixel, I posted an excellent review of the camera and housing by Keri Wilk. In it, he points out the ability of the camera to shoot in 14 bit format-extending and increasing the tonal range of the image. In conjunction with the high pixel count, I'm starting to see the smooth tonal gradients, especially when compared to the D2Xs.



Another plus with the camera is the 1/320 flash sync speed. This makes for much more pleasing sunburests, even when the sun is quite strong.

Great, different underwater photography!

Wetpixel Flikr Group

I am an administrator of Wetpixels Flickr group, and have been spending some time recently adding and inviting images to it. It is a spin off from the Wetpixel site, which to me mind is the best source for info on underwater photography available on the web. It now has 1462 members, and is one of the largest underwater photography groups on Flickr. Probabaly more telling, the group's pool now has some 23754 images!

A friend who has recently go into underwater photography was bemoaning the fact that he had a lot of great images, but never got to show them to anyone. Groups like this on Flickr are a great way of showcasing your pictures, and getting them to a wide audience! Best of all they are absolutely free! Even if you don't take pictures underwater yourself, the quality and variety of images on the group make for a fascinating visual feast! Join up today!

Flickr wetpixel group

I have been quite active on Flickr for some time, and like it as a place to put pictures that I would like to show to a larger audience than I might get on my web site alone. It is a social place, and getting and giving feedback is great for the soul (and ego!)

I have recently been made an admin for the wetpixel group on Flickr. This is a spin off from the great Wetpixel main site here. We have a great group of admins, who have some ideas to make this group the best underwater photography site on Flickr.
