Hello, I am hoping to get some advice on starting taking photos underground. I'm relatively new to caving having come from a background in diving (which I still do). I've got a bit of camera equipment already:
1. a small casio exilim with a waterproof housing - I've used this a couple of times with some mediocre results. Just a point and shoot. It is a little bit bulky in the housing so not convenient to just put in the pocket.
2. my normal underwater setup which is a sony nex with a dome port and wide angle predominantly.
3. a dslr setup which i use for overground stuff.
So I'd like to start taking some photos on my trips and I am just looking for some advice on what to use and what people recommend?
My thoughts would be I wonder about a small camera to fit in the pocket but this would have to be waterproof etc - but am I going to get any decent results with this??
Or what about using my dslr setup - but presume I'll need to carry a tripod and think about lighting and this is going to be bulky so what do you do.
Any thoughts gratefully received - thanks.
