Hello!
So im not sure if im even worthy being on here since i know i wont be doing much diving...but i will be doing photography!:blinking: ..but of kids and adults
anyway, im trying to see what type of lights would be best. LED? halogen? or? I will only be going anywhere from 4-10ft of water and in a pool so i wouldn't be needing those super expensive ikelite lights yes? I probably would need a strong light and another one as a fill light?
The other problem is i bought a housing for my rebel t1i that doest allow to connect strobes to it.(it was a super great deal!) So i would need to get something that is a constant light in order for the camera to focus. Can strobes just be left on? or would a big dive light work better?
Initially im trying to create an underwater studio of some sort..so if anyone can help i would realllllllllly appreciate it!
