Very nice! I had to look at your profile to see what camera you're using and I was very happy to see that it's similar to the camera that I just bought (Olympus C-5000z). The joy quickly went away when I looked up the price of the strobe setup you went with. The on-camera flash and maybe a flashlight will have to do for me for now methinks.

Congrats again on the great photos. Your gallery is amazing as well.

Thanks for the compliment.
You may want to consider this strobe for less money.
If you use manual white balance for your non-strobe shots you will get good results

Your pics are great as usual. Does the diffuser on your stobe increase the coverage or does it soften the light?

Very cool! Thanks for the tips. That white balance thing will definitely save me some "experimentation" time. (And since my time in tropical waters is limited, that's worth a lot!)

Very beautiful stuff as usual. Love the octo.

Where off of Maui did you take those? Off a boat? Shore diving? Very nice photos, especially the Spotted Pufferfish.

The diffuser decreases the light by -0.5 F stop or so Inon says. It definetly decreases the light as you move away from a subect. But it makes for a better photo when you are close to the subject as it spreads the light out more evenly and softens it.

I took those off the Kihei area at 60 feet diving from my kayak.
