Bah! They'll be the new rage in PNG...just you wait. Next time you're there, everyone will have one!

Everything, above and below was shot using my Canon Rebel XTi. Most of the above water shots were taken with a Canon 28-135mm IS USMII. I picked it up as a walk around and the image stabilzation definately helped a ton.

Below water I have the following:

Ikelite Housing
2 Ikelite DS125 Strobes (standard 1" arms)
Tokina 10-17mm Fisheye for the CFWA
8" dome port (newly scratched)
Canon 100mm Macro lens
6" manual focus flat port

It's the first time I've used the rig and the first time I've shot a D-SLR underwater. Not as easy as I was hoping. I shot about 4000 pictures over the course of the month and had the Tokina on for most of Fiji even though the visibility was too poor for it. We saw a hammerhead the first day out and I was bound and determined to get a picture of one before I left Fiji. Never did and wasted a lot of opportunities to be shooting macro. Oh well.

Very nice U/W shots.
