Tobago

[Bunny]

Ok, well what little there was in the way of photography in Tobago (only had the camera on 2 out of 4 dives), is now on smugmug at:

I know they're a bit greenie, but since I can't afford the £400 quid strobe to go with my camera at the moment, I'm making do without flash. The on camera one is useless.

Some nice pics there Bunny...

Have you sold your MX-10, Yvonne? You got some very nice shots with that, better than these in my opinion.

Thx MX10 was lost years ago.

It has little to do with the camera, and more to do with the environment. I was exceptionally fortunate with the MX10 to have great natural light and good vis both in Australia and coming across that whaleshark in South Africa was just incredibly lucky. Since then, I have not had that kind of vis or light from above, unfortunately. Having said that, I am very very pleased with my shark pictures, so I don't necessarily agree that my pictures were better with a different camera. They just happened to be of a different kind of subject.

What I need is a strobe to get some light in there, and to go diving somewhere that actually has some colourful fish and coral! Sharks are great, but don't really render much colour texture at 30m, especially not without a strobe and with particles all over the place. I plan to redress this in the Maldives next January. I can't wait!

I look forward to seing your pics from the Maldives then.
