New Underwater System For Me!

Recommended Posts

I've been on the hunt for an upgrade for my little Olympus TG2 for quite some time now - something with more control and a better focusing system. I was looking at the new Nikon AW1, but for a few hundred dollars more, thought it would be better getting a Fuji xt10 and a housing (housings for my DSLRs are still thousands of $$). That way I'd use it out of the water too. I've had it for a few days now and these are the first few images. It is so great having full manual control in the water :D

Those photo are amazing!! I especially love the photo of the boys jumping in the pool surrounded by bubbles. Hopefully not too weird a question but do you sell images?

I haven't really! Well, beyond the ones I've put on Red Bubble, but I haven't done that for years. I'd need to see how these print first :)

The ones taken in the pool are really magical. There's something really ***fantastical*** about them... If I didn't know better I'd swear they were photoshop composites. That third one especially (3.45, 5th Jan) -Love it.

Yes! I keep saying it's like another world underwater. The split thing is really easy to do with this set up, I could only ever fluke it with the point and shoot Olympus. These have only had a lr edit and on some I've used the Nik software. But no composites ????

does it feel really weird being in the water with your camera?

Absolutely. Especially a brand new mirrorless. I was washing it under the beach shower yesterday afternoon and told my husband that I'll never get used to how wrong it feels.

Didn't think it for a second - I know better :)

Really love them :)

Just an update, still absolutely loving the little xt10 <3
Shooting with the housing is clunky and slow and so much gets left up to the gods of the ocean, so not as much control as shooting on land, but still - I'm thrilled. A million times better than the p&s.

Shooting into the sun is a challenge because it highlights all the water on the front of the housing:
