May Meeting: Big Animal Photography at Arctica Bar & Grill

May 5, 2009 from 7pm to 10:30pm

About Me:

Did my 1st and almost last dive in a frigid finger lake of NY in the mid 1960's. The very leaky mask, cold temperatures, no thermal protection and total lack of training because there wasn't any. It was my college roomate's father who supplied the equipment, frogman techniques and theats to have me try it. My strongest memories of that experience aside from the horrendous ear squeeze and fact that I was overweighted and just walked on the 25 foot bottom was the incredible feeling of breathing underwater and seeing fish. It took about 20 years of work and maturity (?) to really to get certified and take up diving. Underwater photography became a natural for me because of my major involment with photography as a hobby. Presently I'm diving with a Nikon D200 housed in a Sea&Sea DX 200 with 2 YS 120 Strobes.

If the auto focus didn't lock it won't fire. Always try the auto focus lock button and pull the trigger to test if it is just the lens not catching focus, which could be due to low light maybe...

WHY? I troubleshot what I believe was everything and I don't belive light availabilty had anything to do with it. If I focused the camer on the sea floor, it worked. Must be some autofocus issue that is making me crazy.
