First Post

Here is my first post from my first dive with a DSLR. Comments welcome...

Excellent depth of field from tips to base but the opposite is that the background tends to detract from the main subject which I would like to have seen separated from the background. Tricky to make a call on stationery objects they have to be absolutely perfect.

Excellent work for a first dive with a new set-up!

Welcome to wetpixel!

Nice work for your first posted image. From a purely constructive perspective, try not to shoot downwards. I realize that in some cases shooting down is your only option, but you can create better isolation of the urchin by shooting upwards and creating a less cluttered background. In this case the light colored urchin does help it stand out from the reef. I suggest that in the future try to frame some shots shooting up towards the surface. You'll find that to give you more dramatic results, isolates the main subject and improves your overall skills.

Best of luck.
