First Ever UW Images

7 hours ago7 hr

Okay, so I guess the first would’ve actually been with an underwater disposable snorkeling as a kid. Be that as it may, this is the output of my one and only dive with a real camera.

I borrowed my brother’s TG-6 setup on a dive at Breakwater in Monterey.

I’m a total beginner here, and these images are nothing too special but I’d love some feedback on composition, lighting, anything you got.

Thanks in advance, photo fam!

TimG · August 8Aug 8

It consists of a small electronics board with two LEDs and a cable leading to a hot shoe connector. The manual explains that strobes are selected
