I recently went on a trip and used a strobe for the first time. I am sold on it. I don't think I would take a camera down with out one now that I see the difference in my pics. I take mostly macro shots so I am very close to the subject. You can see my most recent attempts here.

You can see in a couple of the pics where I had the strobe set to high. The sea horse, the sexy shrimp and the porceline crab are a bit over exposed but other wise I am happy with the results. I have a single strobe. The camera is set on auto focus, 100iso and force flash so that he strobe goes off every time. I also have a small focus light mounted on the housing and I found this very useful for night dives.

I have to agree with the others that those are some pretty good photos.

Thanks Jeff! I think with some work I can turn out some pretty good stuff. I did learn from this trip however why it is that photographers seem to hog a subject. It takes some time to really get the right shot and get the right focus.

Ah, yes....this is why I like the back of the dive bus, so to speak. As long as the critter sticks around, I'm good with letting everyone else take their peek, and then I don't have to feel so bad about "hogging" it for a bit. Of course, if the critter is your find, then you can take as long as you want before you share it with someone else
