Macro with Canon 7D Mark II

The Canon 7D Mk II is one of the best choices for serious underwater macro photography.  With 65 AF points (all cross type), lighting-fast focus (both through the viewfinder and in live view (thanks dual-pixel sensor)), fast processor and the beautiful color, contrast and image quality we expect from Canon, you’ll find the camera in the hands of many pros.  And knowing all this, I was psyched to try it for Bluewater Photo’s back-to-back Anilao u/w photo workshops… leaving only myself as the obstacle to creating great exceptional photos!

The photos below are just a very small sample of images shot with the 7D Mark II and the Canon 100mm f/2.8L macro lens during the workshops. If you haven’t yet, be sure to check out my other blog entry ‘Sharpness with the SubSee +10 Diopter’, where we take a look at supermacro images shot with this gear. If you’re looking for a new Canon DSLR, the 7D Mk 2 should be considered a major contender. Feel free to email me for more info on shooting macro with the camera.
