Photo's from Southern California

Hello All,

Here are some photos taken this weekend at Shaw's Cove in Laguna Beach.

Pictures were taken with a Sea and Sea DX3000G.

Any comments/critique's welcome!

Nice subjects, Matt. Some of your shots have a fair amount of backscatter in them. This is typical for most internal strobes. Will your camera take an external strobe?

Hi Jim!

I actually have the YS-25 DX External Strobe on this body. Maybe I have it angled wrong? I have the flash pointing down and towards the subject, so it is pointing directly at what I am shooting. Maybe I should point it straight ahead?

Matt - I'm not very familiar with Sea and Sea digital. Can you remove the strobe from the tray and handhold it? This is how I always used the strobe with my Nikonos cameras. Handholding gives you a lot more latitude to vary the lighting and could help to reduce backscatter.

I can. I will give that a try my next go around...

Thanks for the advice!

Matt
