Silvery fishes

5 posts
  1. As I've told in another thread, I've just used my strobe for the firs time. Resulst are not too bad for macro and colour fishes, better than what I expected, but in silvery fishes annoying relfections appear. I think that it could be because the strobe is in a frontal position here, but I'm not really sure. How can I improve the lighning in pics of silvery fishes? How would you aim the strobe to reduce those the reflections?

     

    This is the pic:

    The distance between the school and me was about 1 - 1.5 meter. I used a diffuser.

     

    Thank you in advance :blink:

  2. What power setting and F-stop were you using?

     

    Cheers

  3. The power setting was FULL, F 7.1, ISO 100 and 1/200. Thanks :blink:

  4. Ahh the pain of silver fish...i actually find that i need to cut the power of my strobe when shooting silver fish. I always have them set to full power with diffusers but...when shooting jacks barracuda etc from as close as you are, try knocking the power back to 1/2, also, turning the strobe slightly away or pulling it back further can have similar results

  5. Thank you! I'll try to do that, hope to show here good results next time :o
