Just open up your f stop, start at like 8.

Ya, I usually end up at like f16 which is virtually impossible for me to use while suspended over my tank LOL.

I use a good Manfrotto tripod so I have the luxury of slow shutter speeds.

I picked up some more gear for the 6D today because we plan on taking some good quality videos. I got a Canon EF 8-15mm f/4L Fisheye lens, Sennheiser MKE600 shotgun mic and Beachtek DXA-SLR Pro audio pre-amp.

It's amazing how high the video quality is on DSLR cams now but the audio is still lacking so an external mic and pre-amp is needed.

We didn't get much work done today after receiving a shipment of remote controlled fish.

Here is a picture of our new resident shark. We also have the clownfish version. Both versions will be added to our website shortly!

I have to say...that just looks like a toy I want to play with. The whole build is great!

Nice rig. I wonder what the video on the fisheye looks like. I probably woulda opted for a 35mm since it looks like you have quite a lot of space. Thats just me though

Thanks!

The 8-15mm fisheye lens wont be used for videos. I will use the 24-105mm lens.

I must say that's a sweet setup you got there with your fancy lasers and flying fish...
