Hello everyone!
This is my first post on the scubaboards, so a little extra info is provided.
My wife and I have been diving since the early 90's. Since starting a family in '03 we have been out of it. Now that both of our boys are old enough to get certified, we are getting back into it. We have our first dive vacation planned for this October in Krabi, Thailand. We do a lot of photography now and would like to be able to get some nice pics on the dive trip of the kids and some of the things we see. We are not expecting pro results and don't want to spend the money (right now) to get housings or setups for any of our DSLR's.
We currently own a TG-4 and plan to buy a PT-056 housing before the trip. I expect most of our diving to be < 60ft. My questions for those in the know are: should we get a strobe for this setup, or will we get reasonable enough results with just the camera and housing? If we go for a strobe, which one? I have been looking at the YS-03 but am out of my depth with underwater photography equipment.
I've seen some great images posted here and online by TG-4 users at various depths, with and without housings strobes, etc. I'd like a setup that can produce decent results, (if we do our part) without being too bulky or expensive.
Thanks for all your help!
