nice!!

Next time you are in the water with this new setup, try this (from Martin Edge's book) to help you get a sense of what setting to start with for getting the blues you want in the background.   Using wide anlge setup and no strobes, pick a spot and shoot into the blue water different f stops and shutter speeds.  Keep going until you get the type of blue you like. Make a note of what f stop and shutter speed you like best. Then use this as a starting place when you add your strobes to fill in the foreground. It really does help to try this exercise - and it can help give you a sense of how ambient light can work with your strobes to fill in the main focus of your picture.   I was having a horrible time of lighting my wide angles stuff until I worked on this piece and understood how I wanted the blues to look.

Happy shooting. Looking forward to seeing more of your stuff - DiverPam

Thanks all



Hi Tom, thanks sorry forgot to add, this one is a composite, I added the tiger, you may recognise it from another shot
