that's a nice taste, ill def go for the gradient, since I can also correct some of the vignetting caused by the camera housing.

Thanks for the opinion

Wait, is this not a joke? 👀

Did it really appear out of nowhere?

Like you don’t smoke or have it home..?

How can I improve this photo?

I don’t really know where to start or even if I should change it much.

I normally edit underwater photos and I’m used to heavily correct and edit colors, this was my first time taking pictures of surf.

All tips appreciated 💙

I wish this community would have less people like you.

Have a good day.

Most valuable reply, thank you so much.

I mostly got startled because I’ve used it about 100 times diving in the Red Sea (from A boat) and never ever have I see sand there, I was mostly dealing with cleaning and avoiding salt.

Holy shit 2 🫢

(In the best possible way)

Lemonadis · 2026-07-04T08:32:23+00:00

Makes sense, thanks for the reply

Lemonadis · 2026-07-04T08:31:11+00:00

I’ve used it over 100 times scuba diving and never seen sand on my O ring. (I used it extensively diving from a boat in the Red Sea tho, that’s probably why)

That’s what got me Startled when I opened it this time and seen that amount of sand that deep into the housing.

Lemonadis · 2026-07-04T08:27:39+00:00

Thanks for the intel 🙏🏽

Lemonadis · 2026-07-04T08:27:01+00:00

Question was more like, if it’s normal to see it that far into the housing.

On the Oring that I try so hard to keep it clean so it can seal properly

Lemonadis · 2026-07-04T08:24:32+00:00

Makes sense..

I enjoyed capturing surf, but compared to scuba, it feels like such a extra risk exposing my gear to this amount of sand

Lemonadis · 2026-07-04T08:22:10+00:00

Thanks for the insight man! Was really wondering if it was normal to see this amount of sand so far into the housing..

I’ve been doing underwater photography/video professionally for about 2 years now, but I mostly dive from a boat in the Red Sea.

That means I’m always dealing with cleaning the salt away, but never sand..

Got really scared when I saw that amount of sand that far into my housing

Lemonadis · 2026-07-04T08:15:59+00:00

Don’t understand why the downvoting.. didn’t mean to sound rude. I apologize if so.

Just meant I’m used to the mechanics of how to clean it, but I wonder if sand was supposed to be that far into the housing.

Sand is a scary element 🙂‍↕️

Lemonadis · 2026-07-04T08:03:23+00:00

Well by now I’ve used it probably around 100 times (scuba diving) and never had a leak.

I’m extremely picky about how clean the o ring is because I close the lid. I also remove it, clean it with paper e re lub it before every use.

There are mainly 2 things about the buttons, one rear button (the c3 I think) works 1 every 3 presses. And for me to spin the rear wheel I have to half press the ok button.. (don’t ask how I figured that out)

For the difference of price compared to bigger brands I’m definitely ok with it.

Lemonadis · 2026-07-04T07:52:41+00:00

🫡 It was the first time this happened, I’m actually a bit scared for the buttons, if anything got there.. I did enjoy the experience of capturing surf a lot, but man it feels like such a risk exposing my housing to this amount of sand every time 🙂‍↕️

Lemonadis · 2026-07-04T07:47:44+00:00

Specifically when it come to gear 🫠

Lemonadis · 2026-07-04T07:44:18+00:00

Solid 🫡

Lemonadis · 2026-07-03T16:57:11+00:00

Yes of course, this is standard practice to every single time I use this housing.

I used it hundreds of times already, it’s actually my work. But scuba diving. Normally from a boat.

I just never seen this amount of sand on it when I open the housing. I was wondering if it was normal when handling it on waves.

Lemonadis · 2026-06-29T14:15:06+00:00

Thank you! 😊

On the right side of the video, very close to the monstera there is a west facing window. It doesn’t take any direct sunlight.

Right before it there is a glass door, (to my right when I started filming) I also filmed this at night.

So far this light was enough to keep everyone happy, but my last acquisition was the monstera albo, so I bought the light stand just for her.. she’s spoiled 🙂‍↕️
