lomounderwater Combo pack:
Camera Fisheye + Underwater Housing




So you think you've done it all? You've shot to the end of the Earth and back again.

But, we know you're still hungry for more, so we're throwing you a line. We've known for some time that there's whole world down there waiting to be explored. Finally, our Lomo boffins have invented the ultimate way to take you into the deep.

Sounds a bit fishy eh?

The Fisheye Submarine is the Big Dipper of all underwater camera cases. It takes the Fisheye experience to a whole new level! Compatible with both the Fisheye 1 & 2, you and your camera can now explore new depths together. Even as deep as 20m below the surface, the Fisheye Submarine's crystal-clear polycarbonate lens opening means your shots are as focussed and bursting with colour as ever.

Even though most of the fish, marine life and underwater antics you'll be shooting will be between 1 - 3 metres below, it's still nice to know you can always venture deeper. We've developed the Fisheye Sub to be compatible with your curiosity. Just because the water swallows up a lot of light the further you go down, we don't want it to soak up your enthusiasm. The Sub is built to allow easy access to the flash and comes complete with a Flash Diffuser.

The Fisheye Submarine is a tough character, built to endure all-weather conditions and extreme situations! Thunderstorms, snow, ravishing winds or hail with hell's fury - all in a day's work for the Sub. The beauty of the Sub is that it lets your shots to be as insane as you want to be! You like to push the limits, the Sub allows you to push the button at the same time. Wakeboarding, freeride cycling, torpedo sky-diving, free running, bungee jumping..if you're into it, the Fisheye Submarine has got your Fisheye Camera locked up tight and up for it!

We've fallen for it. Hook, line and sinker.


Tips

Shooting underwater can be a tricky old business, but with these handy hints you'll be hooked-up in no time!

Up Close and Personal
To achieve the maximum Fisheye effect it's important to get as close to your subject as possible. A distance of between 10cm and 1 metre is optimal, especially for capturing small marine creatures! If the photo is shot too far away the subject simply blends into its surroundings.

The Need for Speed
Water swallows up a lot of light. Therefore the deeper you go the less natural light will be picked up. A speedy 400 ISO film is recommended to snap those rays.

'Reflection Remedy'
Shooting underwater is a bit like taking a photo through a window. It is common to get those pesky unwanted reflections. The best thing is to minimise the distance the water between you and your target and make use of the Flash Diffuser. Therefore, again, the closer the better!

Banish Backscatter
What the hell is 'Backscatter'? Well, it is sand, rocks, seaweed and all other odds and sods that your flash can reflect off. Swimming and splashing about in the water can cause Backscatter and totally ruin your shot. The Flash Diffuser that comes with the Fisheye Sub can help with this. However, the best thing is to take a deep breath and wait until the water clears and becomes calm again.

Colour sea Beautiful
As we know, shooting underwater is a challenge. The water swallows up red light and a lot of warm coloured lights. This can leave shots lacking colour or completely blue. To increase the chance of picking up the best colours, feed your Fisheye with a nice Slide film. The Fuji Provia comes highly recommended due to its intense colour saturation. However, the Fuji Sensia is a gem as when cross-processed it can create a nice rosy tint, which can counter the blue stew effect. Mention this to your friendly developer when you hand your film in.

Follow the Sun
The best time to use the sun is when it is at its brightest. However, many eager snappers make the mistake of shooting downwards, away from the sun. This negates the effect of the sun. To get the best colours, try to shoot from under your subject if possible. Shooting from below also has the benefit of creating a simple blue background, which will make your subject more striking. Try to make sure the sun is behind, or at least near to your target, so it doesn't steal the focus.

Clean and Close
Remember! Shooting in water is like shooting through glass. Everything is ruined if your camera lens and Fisheye Sub lens opening are not clean and scratch free. Also, make sure that the Fisheye camera lens is locked in nice and tight and as close to the Sub's lens opening as possible.
