Close up photography is done with Panasoni...Hi Jen,<br />Close up photography is done with Panasonic DMC TS2 and 4; nice Leica lens and excellent zoom macro. Some extreme close up done with Pentax WG3 which has ring lights around the lens and allows for 1cm close ups with good even lighting. Both cameras are waterproof and shockproof. For some close up I use Nikon D90 with 60mm micro Nikkor lens and for telephoto an 18-200 Nikkor zoom and a Tamron 70-300 zoom and Nikkor 80-200 zoom.<br />The Panasonic TS2 has been down to 10 feet on snorkel.<br />Most of video is done with the Panasonics...as it does HD.<br />But of course there are lots of other cameras I would like to try....but I need some $$$ for food. Actually I've seen the TS4 for $218 at Amazon lately which I think is a bargain...the difference in the TS4 vs TS2 is GPS in the 4 but that drains batteries fast. Otherwise I like the control set up on the TS2 better...it's less complicated and more intuitive. TS2 is very hard to find...There is a TS5 which has WiFi as well as GPS.<br />I see lot of other excellent images from the Beach Naturalist volunteers.<br />You can follow their adventures on Facebook The "Seattle Aquarium Beach Naturalists" group page.Buzz's Marine Life Puget Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15583077858297383724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-991123728596511685.post-89042378914525129542013-06-29T08:53:43.591-07:002013-06-29T08:53:43.591-07:00Thank you for all your beautiful photos and helpfu...Thank you for all your beautiful photos and helpful information! I stumbled across your blog while trying to figure out what I had been looking at while at Mee Kwa Mooks (turned out to be Shaggy Mouse Nudibranch Eggs!). I was wondering if you might comment about what Camera/lens you are using to take your photos? Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16578777299563079924noreply@blogger.com
