I have a few questions on my camera but first a small introduction. I have been lurking on this web site the past couple of months and this is my first post. I am currently taking a NAUI course and I took my written test last night. Next weekend will be the first of my OW tests.
Anyway, my instructor let me bring my camera into the pool last night. The first thing I realized was that I need weights on it I cant deal with it floating. I had the camera set to auto flash and had my strobe turned on. Every picture I took of my classmates came out dark unless they were directly in front of me at a distance of around 4 feet. But all the shots of greater than 4 feet came out very dark and rather unacceptable. Now, I was thinking is just because I was in a pool and perhaps the white concrete was reflecting the light. But one of the instructors was also taking pictures in that class and all his came out nice .real nice too. What went wrong with my camera? I dont think I bought a junkie camera so I am sure its me.
Oh, my wife confirmed that the strobe was working. I'll see if I can attach a sample of one of my pictures.
