PHOTO EQUIPMENT
It is common to receive questions about the equipment I use to get my pictures. Although the photo equipment is nothing but a tool and no matter that many photographers say that the equipment does not make the photographer, I personally think that having the right equipment is essential, specially if you want to get as much as you can from those particular situations that an underwater photographer use to have.
A photographer from this specialty need to know his equipment, the risks to breath air or air mixes underwater and develop his diving skills to such a high level the he or she will be able to concentrate in nothing but the subject.
Here you will find a list of the main parts of my photo equipment:
Cameras: Nikon F80, F90, F100 and Nikonos V
Lenses: All by Nikon. My favorites are:
• 16mm f/2.8D AF Fisheye
• 20mm f/2.8D Ultra Wide Angle
• 60mm f/2.8D AF Micro-Nikkor Telephoto
• 105mm f/2.8D Telephoto AF Micro-Nikkor
• 300mm f/4 ED-IF AF-S Telephoto
• 80-200mm f/2.8D ED AF Zoom
Housing: Exclusively the Nexus system
Strobes: Only Sea&Sea. This lights are very versatile and reliable. I like the light temperature that this strobes have specially for fish portraits. The models that I prefer to combine for wide angle and macro shoots are the Y120TTL Duo and the Y60TTL/N.
Arms: After trying different brands and models Ultralight is the way to go
Film: Exclusively Fuji Daylight Velvia and Provia
Other: Teleconverters, extension tubes, filters, tripods and flashes.
