These are some picture from my first attempt at U/W photography. Background info: Total dives logged - 11 (still a new diver) Camera Nikon Coolpix L11 with ikelite housing and AF35 strobe. Location Maui March 1, 2008. There have been no photoshop changes to these pictures yet. (But obviously they need it!!!)

Hopefully this link works, I have just signed up for photobucket while on my layover here in Phoenix. I know these are FAR from perfect, so please give me constructive advice. I do have average topside photography experience.
The yellow fish, obviously not at the right angle, but what is advice/comments on the coloring? I have quickly learned that swimming fish are nearly impossible to take a picture of (for me anyway).
Many of my pictures where out of focus/overexposed. I kept dialing down my strobe and it seemed as if anything over a 2 had the potential to overexpose, which I guess is what I will have to learn and adjust as I become more competant. As one goes deeper and has less and less natural light, do you need to dial up the exposure? (or am I wrong in thinking this?)
thanks in advance. Bye the way, Herman taught me all I know about u/w photography!!! (well at least what I could learn in 2 hours)
