XZ-1 and sunbursts

[chile7236]

maybe i am doing it wrong but i cannot seem to get sunbursts (or anything with the sun in the background) to come out quite right...they all come out like this (using the Inon UWLH100 28M67 Type 1...did the same thing when i was using the WA110):

What are your shutterspeed, aperture and iso-settings? You need a really high shutter-speed to shoot sunbursts. It looks like the highlights are blown in the part of the image with the sun, maybe due to a slow shutterspeed. The halo around the sun, I can't explain though.

I've recently bought the UWL-H100 28M67, but I haven't had a chance to shoot sunbursts with it, so I can't say, if the lens is the issue.

Heres a sunburst shot with no add-on lenses. Shutterspeed 1/1800, aperture 7,1 and iso 100.

MadBeaverDK did You used flash light ( I supposed yes)?
I think chile7236 did not used lamps so with so short shutter speed He can do only shiluethe ?

I turned my strobes off on that one...I will shoot it again with strobes and faster shutter.

Try a shutter speed of 1/1000th or faster. In bright sunny water, I would do F8, ISO 100, 1/1600th or F8, ISO 100, 1/2000th. That is the equivalent of what I used for this shot in shallow, bright water - Scott

Will do. Thanks, Scott

This is my attemot to silhouette, but not good one so only some sunburst are visible
