Hi,

You have some really good images.

In what diving club are you?

Nice eye!

...and you will do even better when you can get your strobe farther from your lens!

A wonderful set for a "newbie".

Nice!

I've got to be twice your age before taking photographs as good as yours! Some thoughts:

Try leaving off your orange filter when using the strobe, then look at the difference in the colours, you might prefer it.

The hardest lesson that I have learned is not to dive and expect to be able to shoot anything that turns up. The best images are taken when you have a particular subject in mind and set up your camera to deal with that subject. SLR photographers pick a lens for the job, then strobes, filters or whatever. Sometimes you get it wrong! But images of the same subject are different when taken with different equipment:

Strobe, 60mm macro lens

Strobe, 12-24mm wide-angle zoom

Strobe, fisheye lens

Magic filter, fisheye lens

Four separate dives, same fish, same site (Ras Mohammed, if you can't guess).
