This is probably the most expensive bit of aluminum i’ve ever bought, but well worth it.  I’m talking about a new arm setup from Ultralight Control Systems.  I only recently got my strobe and 10bar Arm but ive quickly found I need more flexibility in where I can position the strobe if i’m to improve my photography skills. 

I’ve now got and 8″ arm with 2 clamps at either end giving me much greater flexability when positioning the strobe and also the possibility of adding additional arms.

Pictures to follow soon.

I’ve just added a new book to my collection – The Underwater Photographer by Martin Edge (amazon link).  It has a wealth of information about Underwater Photography covering mainly digital techniques and certainly has given me some things to think about when taking pictures.  Some of the areas in covers include lenses, zoom, digital file formats, digial ISO, noise and much more. 

Well worth a read.

I haven’t blogged about anything for a while, so I thought it was about time I sat down and wrote something.  I’ve recently order a new mask – The Atomic Aquatics SubFrame Twin Lens Mask (see my post below).  I won’t actually get a change to try it out properly until I goto Egypt in November. 

I’ve also been looking at getting a new pair of fins.  Currently i’ve got a near 2 year old pair of Mares fins (can’t remember the name) they are looking very worn and I’m in need of something new.  Along the same lines as the mask, Atomic do 2 nice pairs of SplitFins, one called SplitFin, the other with the rather interesting name of SplitFin Smoke on the Water.  Both are around the £90-£100 mark, but also Mares have a newish pair, Raptor Fins, also SplitFins and around £85.

I’ve decided I need a new mask to replace my current mask.  I’ve been looking at the Atomic SubFrame Twin Lense Mask or the same mask but with ARC technology lenses.  Prices range from £70 – £90 with the ARC technology lens mask coming in at the higher.  Aparantly according the Atomic Aquatics website ARC technology lenses are a must for night diving, limited vis conditions and underwater photographers.
