  1. Hi u all. New in forum. My first UW photos. HELP!!

    Hi. First, sorry because my bad english :D

    Here are some shots from Manado last summer.

    They were taken with a Oly 5060 in an Ikelite housing with DS50 TTL.

    Please help me to inprove. Any comments are wellcome. I know i need to work much more.

    Ok, these are the four first

    Thanks again :roll:

  2. All right - you've come to the right place. Welcome to Wetpixel.

     

    When you are shooting with only one strobe, it's VERY important to aim it properly. With one strobe, you can get Ikelite's removable handle and actually "handhold" the strobe to get the lighting effects you want. Laz - a member here - is a master at this.

     

    Your first three shots would have been improved if you had aimed the light at the animal's face, instead of the rear end. The fourth shot of the leaf-fish is quite good but you could have also improved that one by moving the camera down more into the same level as the fish.

     

    Hope that helps,

    James
