Re: Some of my first photos with A6300

Sounds similar to me, except maybe faster.   I too find UW photography to be the most enjoyable photography now.   I hardly shoot for fun above water these days.   I have gone through a number of cameras already.  I learned to dive when I was 17, but I only got in 4 dives before not diving for 35 years.   Then I met Connie who got me back into it in 2007.   Now i have 310 dives in, almost all of them with a camera.

I started with one of those ISO 400 disposable film cameras.  It was awful, and I replaced it immediately with the first of several Canon point-n-shoots.  I got lots of practice taking shots of fish swimming out of frame with terrible white balance.

Eventually I ran out of poor shots to take and upgraded to a Sony RX100 with dual strobes.  The flashes made a huge difference in results, and a year later I bought a Nauticam housing for my Nikon D810 and moved the strobes to it.

I had 11 years together with Connie, and she taught me a lot about composition.

Now I look for art to discover, both in shooting the subject and in post processing.  While tedious at times, I enjoy post processing and am getting better at it each year.
