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.
