Wetpixel Live: Adam Hanlon’s Photography Gear
Wetpixel Editor Adam Hanlon and regular contributor Alex Mustard chat about Adam’s choices of underwater photography gear for a shoot in some flooded mines in the UK’s Lake District. They go on to discuss the “myth” of the perfect camera system and how some configurations may offer advantages in specific circumstances.
Wetpixel Live: UN Charter for UW Photography
2021 to 2030 has been designated as the Ocean Decade by the United Nations. Thanks in part to tireless lobbying by Ellen Cuylaerts, they have recognized the value of underwater imaging as a messenger to promote the beauty and majesty of the oceans, along with their vulnerability. Alex and Adam discuss the UN’s charter for underwater image makers on Wetpixel Live and highlight what an important document it is for all underwater image-makers.
Wetpixel Live: Why enter Photography Contests?
For an essentially non-competitive activity, underwater photography contests seem very popular! On Wetpixel Live regular contributor Alex Mustard and Wetpixel Editor Adam Hanlon talk about why underwater photographers should enter competitions and how doing so will benefit their own photographic skills.
Nauticam releases housing for Fujifilm GFX100
Nauticam is shipping their housing for the Fujifilm GFX100 mirrorless camera. The camera has a 55mm sensor offering 102MP. The housing is compatible with Nauticams’ N120 port system, but perhaps most pertinently, can be used with the WACP-2, offering excellent corner sharpness and a very wide image.
Nauticam ships housing for Nikon Z50
Nauticam is shipping its NA-Z50 housing for the Nikon Z50 APS-C mirrorless camera. It is equipped with Nauticam’s N100 port fitting, which can be converted via an adaptor for use with the FTZ adaptor and F mount lenses. Strobe triggering is via twin optical ports, and a TTL opto-electrical converter can be fitted to reduce recycle times.
Spectacular Kimbe Bay by Don Silcock
Don Silcock shares both his amazing imagery and extensive experience of diving in PNG’s Kimbe Bay. It offers a 140km (87 miles) underwater amphitheater with relatively shallow fringing reefs, mixed in with seamounts and pinnacles, providing a multitude of amazing dive sites.
Wetpixel Live: Dome Port Choices
Dome ports are a crucial part of the optical systems that we as underwater photographers deploy. Judging by questions and comments on the Wetpixel Forum, they are also somewhat misunderstood. This is in part because the underlying optical theory of dome ports is somewhat complex, and is hence avoided. Wetpixel Editor Adam Hanlon attempts to demystify this, by offering some thoughts on dome port choices on Wetpixel Live.
Wetpixel Live: Tools Kits for Traveling Photographers
The ability to fix underwater photography gear in the field is an important one for image-makers. Being able to do so can make the difference between a trip being a success or a dismal failure. One of the resources needed to get things working again is the availability of spares and tools. Adam and Alex discuss which repair materials they carry with them on trips and assignments.
