I am a very novice photographer and use a Cannon PowerShot S120 with a Cannon housing, and carry a BigBlue AL1200XWP that is not mounted for lighting the subject. I do not use the advanced settings of the camera, such as changing the apertures, etc., I just set the underwater mode. I take photos for memories but would like the photos to look good and colourful.
I am now considering mounting a light on the housing cold shoe so it is compact and easy for me to handle. I have a few novice questions on which I hope to have some good advice.
- Should I just mount my BigBlue torch on my housing?
- Are 1200 lumens good enough for my purpose or should I consider getting something more powerful?
- For a new torch, do I just need flood or is spot useful?
