Hi, I'm pretty new with u/w photography. I basically only do macro, close-up shots, as that's all that comes out decently.
How do you do background or landscape shots? To clarify, I mean something like a shot with multiple subjects from a decent distance away (e.g., more than five feet). Visualize the background/landscape shot of a beach scene. That's kind of what I want.
Whenever I try one of these shots with flash, I get all the particles in the middle lit up with little focus on the subject(s). When I do them without flash, the shot looks very green or blue, and it's near impossible to get the colors right in editing.
Can I do this without strobes? I'm currently using a Canon S95 with an Ikelite housing and diffuser. If so, what settings do you generally suggest (e.g., ISO, Aperture, Shutter Speed)?
If I can do it with strobes, then I'm willing to get strobes. How do you do it with strobes, though?
Or is this something that's near impossible without perfect visibility and/or shallow waters?
