I procrastinated. The price has jumped by a factor of 10 since I first visited the site. Still probably not unreasonable. Cheers! Warren Top of the Morning Ron,

I don't seem to have a good photo of it - hopefully I will have one soon and can do a post about it. Thanks! It is a more of a aluminum box glass on one side and 3 adjustable legs.

I am curious about the setup you got - is it just a Ewa-Marine bag or an actual housing? Ron, RainX was going to be my suggestion – but I see you already thought of it.

Hi Singapore Photographers. Thanks for the kind words! Hi Jim, I agree, most viewers probably wouldn't notice the blur. I'm going to try a bit more RainX to see if that helps. The salmon are constantly splashing water on the glass with their tails! I need a window wiper. Thanks. Thanks Noella!

Working as a photographers here in Singapore, and it being much a build up city, we seldom have such good photography opportunity. The services here are usually focused on Commerical and Industrial projects. Thanks for sharing your photos. I really enjoyed looking at them. Cheers.

Goldstein Sun, 28 Jun 2009 04:59:37 +0000 http://www.my-photo-blog.com/?p=2979#comment-105662 I like it. If you can get the blurred water out of the way in the upper portion of the frame I think you'll have a great photo. To be honest I bet most people wouldn't even notice or care about the water blurring the top portion of the image. I get too caught up in a photographer frame of mind and often don't let such little things go. If you asked a non-photographer if they noticed anything out of the ordinary I bet most wouldn't see anything. I like it.

I did get some better images in the stream that I should post next week. Probably will see you soon! Ron Thanks Mark,

Thanks Richard - that does seem to be true, this was captured at 17mm on a full-frame camera. Maybe because the water is so dark, it is easier to go wide since you can't see very far into the water. I also think those big round domes help with split levels shots as well - my tank just has flat glass. Thanks Mom!

I had read somewhere that underwater photography requires much wider lenses than one would think to use on land. Not sure why that is but you did a great job.

I don't use a polaizer, but I have a specially designed tank made of glass an aluminum that sits in the stream. Dennis – missed your question.

I will have to do a post with photos on my setup. I can't see through the viewfinder, although I think with my new camera I could hook up a laptop to it and review images as they are captured - that would be cool. I set it up in the stream, and fire it from a distance away with a Pocket Wizard. This helps let the fish move in very closely as they don't seem to fear the box like they do a person. Thanks everyone!

Are you immersed in the water of seeing the view finder remotely? This is a very interesting shot. I like it a lot. Thanks What does this remote set-up look like?
