Jason Chambers Canon 100mm Macro on the 5D mark 3. Southern Red Sea

Adriana Basques well, I think it's time to upgrade my 5D mark II.... :)

Jason Chambers I don't think you need to upgrade to anything Adriana. Your pics are outstanding as they are.

Adriana Basques Thanks Jason! I specially interested on the the new autofocus and better noise at higher ISOs. How happy are you with these features in the new camera?

Jason Chambers Low ISO is amazing. I can now shoot at 3200 in low light churches where I usually shot at 1600 on the mark 2. Auto focus also an improvement. Would love to upgrade both bodies at some stage. Need to watch my funds after just getting my underwater gear.

Ron Silver Hope y'all still manage to enjoy your dives when not fiddling with knobs, etc. :-D

Jason Chambers Good point Ron! First time with the SLR underwater. Would you believe I dropped from 30m to 40 whilst fiddling with knobs on the camera.

Ron Silver Just some good natured ribbing! A lot of my dive buddies are hard core photogs. Safety is whole different can of worms as is protection of the natural resources......Just for giggles, trail along behind a group of photogs sometime and see what they do to an area (particularly behind themselves) as they fin and fin and fin to frame their shots.

Jason Chambers Don't mind some good natured ribbing Ron! There's a lot of that goes on in the North of England.

Ron Silver Freckled Hawkfish - one of several color variations, but the freckles on the head is key to ID of all variations.
