NWDiver 42 Posted February 18, 2011 Great shots, like the moody feel of the over/unders. One comment, the divers lights seem a little strong, otherwise great shots. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JKrumsick 3 Posted February 20, 2011 (edited) With #12 - Did you move your camera from left to right fairly fast to track the fish? I am just wondering because the fish don't seem to have motion blur but the coral does... Nice shots BTW!!! Edited February 20, 2011 by Slashmagurk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
girelle 19 Posted February 20, 2011 Wonderfull shots Damien , congratulations !! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bigeye Bubblefish 7 Posted February 21, 2011 Thanks for your warm comments. Great shots, like the moody feel of the over/unders. One comment, the divers lights seem a little strong, otherwise great shots. Thanks, actually the diver was using a small 6 Leds light at 40%. I need to work with models so the beam of light is not directly directed to the dome. How did you light up the dhoni!?love your split shots I was holding my housing out of the water, and the strobes were over the housing... heavy, very heavy ;-) Très agréable en effet.J'adore le blues Merci beaucoup With #12 - Did you move your camera from left to right fairly fast to track the fish? I am just wondering because the fish don't seem to have motion blur but the coral does... Nice shots BTW!!! You are correct. The fish were in motion, but they were not that fast. I tried a couple of shots, but the motion blur was not great, so I tried to add some motion with a movement of the camera following the the fishes. Merci Dominique ;-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
