THE SECOND LESSON

The second thing I learned  -this time not the hard way-  was how very important it is to know exactly where the camera's controls are. Lots of practice on dry land  -in my room in fact-  allows me to change settings with just a glance to check if correct.

The Nikonos V at work with the UW Nikkor 20mm f/2.8, SB-103 underwater flash on the fish school.

 

The SB-103 was voluntarily recalled by Nikon some time back, to be replaced at no cost with the newest scuba diving high performance speedlight, the SB-105. Nice. I still have it.

My wife, with great patience to understand my hand signals, turns into my camera, this time with the W 35mm f/2.5 Nikkor, to take her picture with an angel fish that had taken refuge from the tourists in a small hole in the 'Manchones' reef at Cancun.
