Guest post: Underwater Nikon D800 pictures from diving in Puerto Rico

I’m Marc Pagani, and I’m an adventure travel, portrait, live music, and wedding photographer based in New Orleans. My most recent book, “Fearless Photographer: Travel”, came out this past November 9th and can be found online and in local bookstores.

Last week, I had my 4th shoot in 2 years in Puerto Rico, this time for my stock agency, Aurora Photos.This was my first opportunity to shoot underwater images of sea life with the Nikon D800, and I think it worked out well. Though I took along my fisheye and 105 Nikkor macro lenses and their respective UW ports, I stuck to my Nikon 16-35mm F4 VR lens in an 8’ glass Ikelite dome. The housing was Ikelite’s model 6812.8 for Nikon D800/D800E. I was using two Ikelite DS-160 strobes (one on either side of the housing). The nice thing about using Ikelite strobes with an Ikelite housing is the reliable TTL strobe metering and the convenience therein. When you’re dealing with changes in water pressure and trying to keep your buoyancy perfect, so as not to disturb the pristine coral reefs, it’s nice to not have to make constant adjustments to the strobe output.
