Some tips on this photo

7 posts
  1. Any suggestions on how to improve the upper part of the shot? all of the gear info is included in the link.
    Personally i think it's because of the acrylic dome port.. but i could be wrong.
    Any tip is welcome.

    Trying my first ''over under'' shots, any tips?? by Max Daniël, on Flickr

    Thank you in advance,

  2. What was the shutter speed, aperture and strobe power

  3. Shutterspeed was 1/200th aperture f11 iso 250.

    And the flash was set on ttl which should have been on manual..

  4. Looks like there may still be a sheet of water on the dome to shoot through. You can get all kinds of interesting effects doing this.

    In this shot, i tried to get a traditional split shot, with the top part being reasonably sharp. so this picture is not really a big succes.

    I took this one at the end of the dive (at the exit point) so there was still a lot of water on the dome indeed.

     

    Next time i will try to make a split shot in the beginning of the dive when the dome is still dry.

    Thank you!

  6. I think that you have to go into the water to take splits, not try them at the end of the dive. Glass domes and water repellant are helpful: even spit works. If not: Photoshop, before it becomes a professional-only product!

     

    I've also found that using a portrait format (and even focussing on the background) can sometimes yield a better image:
