Manatee Photos

  1. We've all seen the great photos from some of the clearer sites but the fact is Kings Spring still reigns supreme for a manatee encounter. So what settings do you use on your camera at this location to get "decent" photos?

  2. Gary,

     

    I answered you best I could on this link with the time I have available right now:

    The conditions at King Spring now are not impossible to photograph in, but the photos will never be as good as in clear water. I posted a pic I took last year in super-murky conditions at King Spring with my point and shoot Fuji F810. Hope that helps. As I said with the d200 now I'd probably skip taking pics if the conditions were too murky and just have fun!!! But I'm sure I could still get some decent shots. It is very necessary to shoot "up" in those conditions and position the strobe out on a rather low setting.

     

    Hope this helps!
