Took this shot yesterday evening at sunset; first time I photographed a diver this time of day.

Visibility was pretty bad, < 3 meters with lots of sand particles floating around. 1/30 @ f13, iso 200, Tokina 10-17 at 16mm, strobes half power.

Hi all (Alex),

I am intrigued by this remark that Alex Mustard made in the D600 / D800 field review: "I crossed my strobes back on themselves for this photo, to light this Polycera quadreilineata and keep the light on the kelp it was sitting on to a minimum."

Can you please explain what this strobe position is?

Hi all,

I am trying to hook up a Sea & Sea YS90 Duo to my D600 using an electrical sync cord through a Nikonos 5 pin connector to the hotshoe of the camera (in Nauticam housing).

Can't get the strobe to fire. Anything I'm missing here: camera / strobe settings?  Too many pins connected? 

I will greatly appreciate your recommendations.

Hi all,

I made some unscientific test shots in the pool the other day, to see how the Tokina 10-17 FE performs on a 24 mp full frame camera behind two different dome ports. 

Camera: Nikon D600, Tokina on 15mm, ISO 6400 (ambient light), Aperture priority. Focus point was at the center. I ran the raw files through Lightroom to adjust white balance and lighting. No cropping, sharpening or noise reduction were applied. I sharpened for screen upon exporting to jpegs. 

First three shots using the Tokina 10-17FE behind Subal 4" minidome (DP-54 B)

Last three shots same lens behind Subal 6" dome (DP-SW B). No extension rings.

I guess f11 is the limit. At 15mm behind the 6" port the dome shade is visible in the corners (slight vignetting), limiting it's use to the long end. 

Best regards,

--Rob
