Help with my Sony/Fantasea - which strobes?

2 posts
  1. Hi!

     

    I am about to buy a small setup for doing underwater babyswimming photography in a local pool. Water depth will be max 1m (babies after all) and the existing indoor lighting is good. However, to avoid backscatter I understand one or two strobes would help a lot. Appx. 120-150 images will be taken during an afternoon. Max 1.5m away from the subject.

     

    So here is a possible setup;

     

    Sony RX100 iii/iv

    Fantasea housing for the Sony

    Sea&Sea YS-03 or YS-01 (either one or two strobes?) kit

     

    I believe the above will suffice, but am happy to hear you comments.

     

    Thanks!

  2. Hi,
    setup will be fine,
    but maybe you should think about a wet wide angle lens.
    Get as close as you can, and there the 24mm of the camera lens will not be wide enought.

    Regards,
    Wolfgang
