Stingray City -New SLR- Which settings?

Hi, new member here...

Just bought a used Nikon F90x SLR with Ikellite Housing and Ikellite Substrobe 50.

Going to Stingray City next week to shoot some fast action; can anyone please recommend which camera settings i should use for this? Manual or Aperature Preferred? Fstop and Shutterspeed?

Thanks in advance

Film... err.. just about remember what that is, but would think someone will help you, all I can say it you probably wont need to use the strobe there, it's shallow and can get very sandy, the strobe will highlight the sand particles. some stingrays.

I wouldn't bother with your strobe unless it's a very cloudy day; put your camera on shutter priority, bracket your shots from 1/125 to 1/250th, assuming you are using ISO 100 film. You need the speed to freeze the motion.

kriptap and scubamarli's advice is spot on....Don't be afraid to try "odd" angles, too.

It's a blast.......And I'll be doing it next week!

Enjoy
