Hi,
I'm doing underwater photography for quite a while and all in all I'm not too dissatisfied with my results. But what I would desperately love to learn is how to achieve this kind of image:
There are certain wide angle shots with a very colourful, saturated foreground, f.ex. a gorgonia or softcoral, whereas the surrounding background (especially the maybe not so nice parts of the reef) is (almost) black but with still nice blue water colour and sunbeams.
Is it just a matter of closing down the aperture accordingly or special positioning of the strobe or underexposure or what?
Please tell me...
Gaby
