Hello Everybody ,

Thankyou,

Salil

For a second try you have done really well Salil!

Keep shooting!

Part. like the shoal of red eyes..well done :-)

Thankyou Very Much Sir

Atleast I Know I Am Going in The Right Direction Thankyou Once Again

Hi Salil, yes, a great effort for your second attempt, I am impressed.

What equipment are you using? And what are the settings?

The one thing i might suggest is a slower shutter speed to bring out a bit more of the natural light in the background of your photos.

Thankyou Sir ,

I Use Nikon D300 with 10-24 Nikon and 105 Macro Nikon In Ikelite Housing with Dual DS 160 Strobes

The Setting for the First Photo ( Anemone Fish ) Was - 14mm, 1/160, f/8 at ISO 160

The Setting for the Second Photo ( Snapper Shoal ) Was - 15mm, 1/125, f/8 at ISO 160

The Setting for the Third Photo ( Bigeye Shoal ) Was - 24mm, 1/125, f/6.3 at ISO 160

Oh Ok Will Do So

Thankyou Sir Once Again

ok, that info is helpful. During similar natural light conditions try 1/60 on your shutter speed as those subject move slowly so you won't get motion blur. But, if its very sunny and shallow then 1/125 and 1/160 work well

Oh Ok

Will Keep that In Mind

Thankyou Sir

It is Really Nice of You To Guide Me, Its Very Encouraging and Helpful , Thankyou Very Much
