I'm still uploading these to my gallery, but I got some shots I'm pleased with.

My cord to my manual controller kinked, thus I was shooting with no strobe the majority of the time. I'm really pleased with the internal flash on my Oly, though this meant a lot of the WA stuff wasn't happening due to the backscatter. The owner of my LDS is hooking me up with a sync cord to hardwire my camera since he said I shouldn't have been using a manual controller with my setup anyway since I have the capability to hardwire it, and on the day I could borrow a sync cord, I was pleased with the results.

Hopefully soon I'll have some awesome photos. The same guy is going over a lot with me involving strobe to subject distance and calculating f stops, but in the meantime, I'm actually pleased with a lot of these:









Any feedback or suggestions always appreciated. It was a spectacular trip!

Thanks! I'm sorting tons of pictures, so getting them uploaded as quickly as I can. I have about 60 moray shots and 80 turtle shots!!!! Not to mention about 30 of backs of sea snake heads, but only two where he turned around to smile for me. One is horribly blurry because he stuck his little nose so close to the lens it wouldn't focus (gaaahh!!!) but I'm pleased with the one I've got on the site.

The trip was so amazing. It's weird, but after only a week, I'm REALLY having a hard time adjusting to being back in the States (and not sucking down gourmet food and diving 3-4 times a day).

LOL, I hadn't noticed that! Though I just realized I stuck this thread in the Oly forum rather than the general forum as I'd intended. Sorry about that! (though I was using my little Olympus).
