Maya Irwin | At the moment I am using an Olympus Stylus 500 which I bought 4 years ago for a trip to the Similans and Phi Phi Islands. This was my first introduction to underwater photography. Its a good wee camera for someone who knows nothing about underwater (or terrestrial) photography. I dont have photoshop but have manged to get a few good snaps. The only problem for me is a lack of manual white balance which seems to be a drawback from what others have said.
Still finding my favourite dive site but Lobster Rock, Siamil Island (near Kapalai, eastern Borneo) was fantastic. | | United Kingdom | |
