I entered the sea aiming for the time just before the sun set, and while looking through the viewfinder, I placed my finger gently on the shutter release lever and slowly approached the green turtle to release the shutter at the right moment. The housing works well at the timing that should not be missed, so I can rest assured that the housing is functioning properly.

I had visited this point many times to take photographs from the same spot, but I was never satisfied with the transparency or the timing of the sunlight. I kept coming back, and one day the conditions were ideal, and I was able to photograph an ideal colony of corals in natural light.

A beautiful group of cassowaries photographed in Kushimoto on the Kii Peninsula. I adjusted the strobe's intensity so that the light was not too strong. I timed my shots to capture the swaying of the cassowaries in the swell.

INTERVIEW

●SEA&SEA housing from the first one.
I have been using SEA&SEA products since around 2015 when I got my first DSLR for underwater photography. At that time, I used an MDX-D800 and two YS-D2s to go shooting around the world.
I admired many underwater photographers who were using SEA&SEA housings.
●Love the "Dome Port 210AR".
I have been using the "Dome Port 210AR" for about 2 years now and I like it very much.
I often took backlit photos when shooting wide-angle, and I had a problem with the lens of the camera body reflecting internally on the port. Since I started using this AR coated port, there is no internal reflection and I am now able to take ideal photographs.
The photo of a green turtle heading toward the light at dusk taken on Hachijojima Island was also backlit. I was worried about the internal reflection, but I think I was able to shoot because of the AR coating that has an anti-reflective inner surface.
In order to take an ideal picture, all conditions such as transparency, light, and encountering turtles must be matched. Even if you are able to take a well-timed shot, it will be ruined if the text on the lens is reflected in the image. The fact that I was able to shoot without having to worry about such things was thanks to this dome port.
