WALEA. Central Sulawesi. Nudis 1

Hi, I just arrived from Walea. Nice diveresort. Calm seas over, strong currents under. Coral are in greit form, and it's plenty of macro life just a few steps from the jetty.

Here are some of the nudis i got.

Hope you like them.

I really like #2. The strobe light nicely highlights the shape of the nudi. Well done!

Nice nudis. Shooting curvy images takes a little effort on strobe lighting. Generally speaking pulling the strobes up over the animals is necessary to avoid harsh shadows from side lighting. Some soft shadows often provide depth and give the animal a real 3D look, like #2 as Larry pointed out.

Thanks Joe, as i said to Kelpfish i was playing with the strobes to not get flat lighting. I got this with a strobe up over the nudi and slightly far and the second coming from the right and closer.
