hello everyone!
just got back from a trip to the Maldives and it was fantastic! a lot of reef sharks, some mantas, dolphins the whole day (on the surface or diving) and a lot of fun on an excellent boat!
after one dive i apparently forgot to switch of one of my Ikelite DS-160 substrobes so the battery was dead for the next dive. Unfortunately I just figured that out after jumping and getting my camera ready to take some closeup shots of a nice wreck we visited. since one of the strobes was dead (not the master-strobe!) I figured I could just switch it off and the one which still had battery would work but IT DIDN'T! Could anyone tell me why? I tried wo switch both of them on or just one, nothing worked. therefore there was no underwater photography on that dive with my camera... ;-)
something else I found out: generally my photos are too bright when I shoot underwater. my settings are for the flash: normal ttl and for the camera shutterspeed 1/60.
if you have comments to one or both of the topics, feel free to comment.
