Snorkeling with external strobe?????

  1. Snorkeling with external strobe?????

    Hello

     

    I want to do snorkeling and I bought a digital camera canon S60. I would like to know if it would be necessary to buy an external strobe (Epoque,...) or not...

     

    I'm not swimming under 5 meter...

     

    thanks

  2. You will do just fine with a UR Pro filter to start with. Check out accessories for your Canon housing sold by Inon America www.inonamerica.com

  3. There is no need for a strobe at these depths - but make sure you shoot with the light - i.e. have the sunlight shining onto and lighting up your subject.

    This is a snorkelling image taken with just sunlight and filter:

    Of course strobes can be helpful for some shots - where you cannot get good natural light onto all of your subject. The strobe helps fill the shadow:
