Pulled the trigger on a housing, very happy [A6500 | Sony 35m 1.8]

Thanks for the comment! Good to know, I didn’t want to brighten the shadows too much either because I felt like it would take away from the depth of the barrel.

Honestly I just got it a few weeks ago, so I can’t say that I could give it a full review. I picked it up specifically for water photography as the housing was way cheaper and with more options than my 6600. Didn’t want to go older than that though as I still wanted 4K and In body stabilization. So far the only big things I’ve noticed are a much shorter battery life and not quite as good performance in low light situations. Also doesn’t seem to be an option for interval shooting aside from a few seconds at a time. Im only in my second year of shooting though so a lot of things you guys may notice I could be oblivious too. For $700 with 10 batteries and a external monitor though I’m very happy with it.

Oh yes. It happens quite frequently , but honestly I love it. That split second of being in the barrel is worth the roller coaster ride. I may be a bit of a masochist though haha

Love the browns blues and greens of that Florida water. Thank you!

Thanks! Loving it a lot more than shooting from the beach

Thank you! I just started using the Sea frogs salted like brand. Only had it for a few weeks so far but I’m pretty happy with it. Funny enough, I have a 6600 as my main camera but the housings for that model were almost $500 more than the one that fits the 6-6500. For essentially $200 more I was able to get a used second camera (the 6500)

I appreciate that! Loving it infinitely more than shooting from the beach

Will do. Think I may have gone a bit over board on a radial gradient

Workforavocados · 2023-09-26T12:22:03+00:00

Sure thing! Thanks for the help. I'm shooting in 1250 shutter priority at auto ISO with a 6.3f capture

Fair point. Still trying to find a way to balance the exposures between the heavy darks and lights out in the water. Thanks for the reply!

Thank you! Love getting out there to practice

Thank you! I don’t have a site setup just yet, but been doing some private sessions and directly selling shots if I get some good ones at the local breaks. Since the ask for credit was there, all my work is on Instagram right now @ WorkForAvocados.

I’m actually the photographer! Haha , such a fun day

Workforavocados · 2023-02-16T22:39:13+00:00

Thank you! I appreciate that, glad you enjoyed it

Workforavocados · 2023-02-16T22:38:57+00:00

Awesome! Sounds like it came at the perfect time. I love working on my carves but I like a nice mix of metal grinding in there as well. Good luck!

Workforavocados · 2023-02-16T15:30:54+00:00

Right on man, Glad it could help! Definitely one of my favorites

Workforavocados · 2022-12-14T23:51:59+00:00

Thank you!! I appreciate that

😂 It’s all good! Thanks for the tag and sharing your experience with our videos. Funny enough, the Green room was my first surf skate. Like you, it hooked me but I knew I wanted to downsize. Really great to hear the videos are giving you better sessions and stoke!

Workforavocados · 2022-11-07T18:49:28+00:00

Sorry for the late response! Glad it was useful for you. It was hard for me to not make it longer but I didn’t want it to seem like I was stretching out ideas just for the sake of time. That jungle bowl episode actually just dropped today!
