Wetpixel Live: Shooting in Cool Water
Globally, it seems that for most underwater image-makers, for a period at least, diving may be restricted to diving locally. For many of us, this may entail diving in cooler water conditions than those we would normally dive in. Alex and Adam discuss some ideas about customizing your equipment to allow more productivity and to concentrate on creating innovative imagery.
Ikelite Ships M16 TTL Bulkhead
Ikelite is shipping their ICS-5 bulkhead. This offers manual or TTL exposure control with Ikelite strobes on housings that have an M16 accessory port opening. It is compatible (in various configurations), with Canon, Sony, Nikon, Olympus, and Panasonic cameras.
Nauticam Ships Housing for Canon EOS C70
Nauticam is shipping their NA-C70 housing for the Canon EOS C70 cinema camera. Mirroring the camera’s small form factor, the housing uses the N120 port system and can be fitted with both RF and EF mount lenses (via adaptor). It has an integrated electronic control board and has space for Canon BP-A30 and BP-A60 batteries. HDMI 12.0 is available via a 24mm port.
Wetpixel Live: Pimping your Strobe
Alex](http://www.amustard.com) and Adam chat through a wide range of strobe accessories. Our goal as underwater photographers is to capture light, so anything we can do to improve or modify our flashs’ output can provide great benefits and significantly improve our images.
Inon Ships Split Easy
Inon is shipping the “Split Easy,” a simple rubber ring that retains the water between GoPro housings with SD front masks and the Inon UFL-G140 SD semi fisheye lens. This retains the water between the two, offering the opportunity to capture split level or over/under images.
Wetpixel Live: Super Resolution for Underwater Photographers
Adobe recently released their new Super Resolution function within Photoshop. Based on machine learning this allows for significant and very accurate upscaling of images. Alex and Adam discuss how this may affect underwater photographers’ choices of camera and allow for whole new criteria when assessing camera performance.
AOI Announces Wet Lens for Action Cameras and Camera Phones
AOI has announced their UWL-03 wet lens. It is designed to correct the optical challenges presented when using action cameras or camera phones. It mounts with a locking bayonet mount onto compatible housings.
AOI Announces Compact Strobe
AOI has announced their new Ultra Compact Strobe. Deliberately designed as a simple compact tool, the strobe only offers manual output control, has a three-stage continuous light, and offers a modeling light that fires a burst of flashes that can help users aim and gauge the effect of the strobe’s light on the frame.
