A few picture from Puget Sound and San Juan Islands (from a beginner- beware!)

A few pics from our trip a week or so ago- I lowered the quality a bit so they wouldn't take a while to download- they're taken with my A620 that I'm still figuring out how to use... comments/ opinions welcome!

Nice shots. Did you use the built in flash?

 

[booth22]

yes and no. some of the shots were internal strobe, some were with my buddy's ikelite DS-50, held to my housing with zip ties and duct tape (no, i'm not kidding - his strobe rig goes with his ikelite housing for his sony, not quite compatable with my Canon housing) mind you this was also my first week in a drysuit- in case I didn't have enough taskloading with the camera

the internal strobe was giving off backscatter, so I used a little duct tape to block the internal strobe from firing straight out, but it still let out enough to trigger the sensor. Then I set his strobe to TTL and prayed a lot.
