Re: Over-under shooting with a big dome

I have an 8" dome, and I use floats to give my gear positive buoyancy. The problems i have are:

  • focus... need a huge depth of field to keep both over and under in focus, due to the optical characteristics of water (refraction index).
  • size difference: water magnifies. If i have a model half way under, half way above, her legs will appear disproportionately large compared to her body. Not exactly elegant. 

I will follow this thread with attention. Ned
