Huey, excellent gallery!
Bob, the last photo is terrific. On the first one, it looks like:
1) the white balance was off
2) You are too far away
The third photo looks like the strobe was placed too high, aiming down.
There are a few things you can do:
- Get closer (almost most of my photos are taken only 1-2 feet away) Beyond 3 feet don't bother. Or at least look into purchasing a Magic Filter.
- For wide angle, don't shoot downward (compare the last photo to the first)
- Shoot RAW
- You have a great camera and strobe. Now is the time for a wide angle lens or port. If you shoot an Ikelite housing, at least get a dome port. Same goes for the Olympus housing. Athena makes a dome for it (Ryan Canon's Reef Photo sells them).
