No worries. Let us know how you get on and maybe post some before and after shots? The comparisons would be interesting.

Generally I think the problem of images appearing flat is indeed that the lighting is too centred and shadows are removed. Oddly, I reckon this is more likely to happen with two strobe users rather than with a single strobe. With two strobes there is a tendency to balance the strobe positions to mirror one another. You can't do this if you only have one strobe - although, if you have the strobe along the central axis of the lens, you are likely to create the same effect. I'd suggest trying to angle the lighting in such a way that it casts a slight shadow on one side of the subject. Try 45-60 degrees. This should help create a bit of depth and, if you carry it to almost extremes (120 degrees?), you could "Rembrandt light" the critter!

Great to have you with us, Crayfish. Welcome!

Great to have you with us, Fraser. How about an article of how you found moving from a GoPro to Sony FF? I'm sure lots of members would find that interesting.

Great to have you with us, Mark Old? We not OLD, Mark. We are just getting wiser..... more distinguished......

Good to have you with us, Tom. Welcome!

Hey Ray Welcome aboard! I dived Ningaloo some years ago whilst living in Oz. Loved it. WAY better I thought than the BGR. Thanks on the book link, wicked!

Amazon have them

Much appreciate the comments, Buddha - thanks! On the shirts and mugs, yep, they are ready to go. Just click on Store on the menu at the top. We've had quality "issues" with stickers/decals so they aren't available just yet but we'll let you know when they are. It's early days for our shopping setup so it is a little more clicky for the moment than we intend. It was a little tricky finding a way of letting most members buy items without necessarily getting hit by import duties and the subsequent freight handling charges. To get started right away, we have implemented the store in a simple but, we think, effective manner. The prices on the site are in USD but before you pay you will receive an invoice with the correct final amount including shipping costs and, just possibly, customs fees depending on where you live. To avoid customs fees as best we can, items are produced and shipped from three geographical areas: USA, UK and EU. In Australia the items come from California. I am in the Netherlands and bought a t-shirt and a mug which arrived from Spain and Lithuania respectively. So no customs duties. Give it a try, please, and if you find problems, just let us know.

Hey Justin If you have your old posts, feel free to add them here under the relevant thread. We don't think we are going to be able to resurrect threads/posts from "other sites" - sadly.

Hey Toby! Delighted that you have joined us. We hope this new forum is even better......

Welcome Carey and Mrs Carey - great to have you with us. Curiously, I've just been writing an article to appear here on Bonaire...... and then Sint Maarten.

Welcome aboard, Caolino! Why not write up about using the EPL10 system? I'm sure it'd be of interest to many members.

Delighted to have you join, Steen!

Thanks, Michael. So far, so good! Thanks for joining us.

Hey Pedro We have had long conversations about "legacy". Much though it would be great to get WP materials and info about people, there are all sorts of issues - especially when it comes to personal data. Got to be honest, I don't think we can do it and the lack of legacy was something we recognised we would likely just have to deal with.

Great to have you here, JayceeB. Thanks for joining.

Great to have you with. Overton. Good luck with the Z6. Not a word of difference I think, in principle, from your D90.

Wow, sounds like a nice trip on Juliet - so to speak. Welcome!
