it was a good trip, my first dive WHALE SHARK, WHITE TIP SHARKS and my camera decided to give me MEMORY card error underwater.. before i went into the water i did a couple of test shots and everything worked.. but down there it played with me.
i liked the pictures in general, vis conditions were not that good since is the pacific. The shots from the jacks school does not look good either, some of them test them with strobes and some without them, it was my first time shooting schools of fish.
why it was difficult because well during decent i adjust exposure for the manual strobes, then i am good to shoot close subjects but when i want to shoot subject far without strobes i need to adjust the exposure again. so it was quite challenging but i hope you liked.
another thing is that it might be time to change my big blue focus light the beam angle is not wide enough, it was hard sometimes to locate the small stuff on the lcd screen.
Also as a beginner i did not know that yellow subjects reflect a lot of light also, the pictures from the frog fish are over exposed.
two strobes really make the difference vs just one...it was my first time shooting with two strobes.
