wide angle with a P&S

Hi all

im trying to get the most out of my coolpix P5000 , , i have a ike housing , 2Xinon strobes and a inon uwl100 and dome attachment.

i have been playing with wideangle shooting quite a bit latley , and was hoping to get some comments and advice as to how i can improve my images . i thought i would be brave and post a few shots and see what people say .

i have tried doing sunballs and for my camera setup the sun just seems to burn out , mostly now i put the sun behind a rock or put it just out of frame.

first image taken at jervis bay (temprate water) of a rock overhang looking out into the reef.

2nd image taken of a bommy with sea tulips ,

last image taken of a red sponge and more sea tulips ,i was trying to convey the healthy spongees and life down there

comments welcome

They look awesome to me!!! So bright and colorful, crisp and clear.

I don't see many problems either - technically the photos are well exposed and lit - and it looks like you've done the best you can w/ your subject matter. One thing that might help would be aiming the camera up slightly more for the sponge photo.

Cheers

Hi Matt

Yep, look nice and crisp to me as well.

Only thing i would suggest is playing with strobe positioning a bit. perhaps bring them a touch further back or varying the power from one to the other. Create a bit more shadowing for texture.
