Finally, I can use my macro lens underwater, and the results are quite impressive. Handling the lens is a bit difficult, as the magnification is 1,5:1 (1:1 macro lens + the effect of a flat port).

I need more practice....

Forest floor

My first try with off camera strobes. Well, One strobe, an Ewolux 9800A, semi-automatic. There is no way to set this strobe in manual mode (it hasn't got any). Instead, I set it to full power and vary the distance between strobe and subject. Still, this worked out nocely - as if a streak of light hits the mushrooms. Luckily, I received two Yongnuo's to be able to play a bit more with light. Now I have to wait for my camera that is at a repair centre to fix a serious back-focus issue.
