Biography of Underwater Photographer Joseph Tepper
I started diving at the age of ten and since that time have wanted to become a better photographer whether using a disposable Kodak waterproof (you know the blue ones) or my D300s. Last summer I received my dive-master in Grand Cayman, where I spend much of my free time. I am currently a journalism student at New York University with a second major in Biology.

Ben, the only time I found it slightly too bright was on night dives--here i preferred to use the lesser output of a photo focus light. The automatic exposure of the iphone does a good job of compensation in either case. Definitely a solid video light--especially for an iphone!

agreed! One of the best DMs for photographers in the world, I think

Hi Luis,
I used a device called "Triggerfish" (http://www.divephotoguide.com/underwater-photography-special-features/article/talking-triggerfish--hedwig-dieraert/ ). It is essentially a optic sensor that plugs in electronically to a strobe, and signals it to fire when it senses a flash. Ikelite makes a similar device.

Hi Honey,
I believe Keri used a Nikon D7000 in Aquatica housing for most of these. Some of them might have been with one of several compacts that we were testing on the trip. Best,
Joe

Hi Jim,
I think you'd really love our behind the shot features. We take some of the worlds best underwater photos - most of our contest winners write a detailed article - and dissect them for our readers. You can check out previous behind the shot articles here and I'm sure we will have one or two from this months winners soon! Hope that helps!

its amazing how much control an animal that size has underwater. it can swim along the bottom without moving a grain of sand and swim beside a photographer without crushing him!

Thanks guys! it's a truly amazing dive destination

Things that have gotten me awake at 4AM- Lord of the Rings Marathons, Hockey, and underwater photography...glad to see you're on the cayman side now!

My second Sea and Sea DSLR housing and always love the ruggedness of the design and the ease with which the controls are adjusted. Several changes over older models, which seem to be universal for all companies, that I am not a fan of- comes standard with just fiber optic ports, no window above top display settings, aperture is a sideways dial rather than the scroll dial. well built, but different controls than some previous models

I would need an entire body of steel in order to try this
Jul 29, 2011

May 19, 2011

Mar 12, 2011

Mar 7, 2011
coolest shot ever...i would kill to just be a trout in this

besides the fact that this well executed bokeh technique on a subject that well merits it, i am totally digging the title- "bokehlicious"
Feb 26, 2011
got a peek of this at OWU an it is quite a cool compact
Feb 26, 2011
very nice review keri! now i just have to get my hands on one...
Feb 26, 2011
As amazing as that first shot is on a computer screen, I must say that seeing it printed out at OWU really does it justice

I will tell you from personal experience that shark fin's are a thriving trade in NYC. Did an assignment on shark fin sales in chinatown...and i was kicked out of most stores

Thanks Joost! Sorry for the mistake. It has been corrected. Thanks
Sep 16, 2010
this kinda hurts that it has full 1080p while my d300s is stuck with 720! not fair

What a great article. I know that this subject certainly applies for me. Thanks for the great insight and I would love to talk to you sometime.
