Hi,
wondering if all of you U/W photo experts can help me out. We're going to use the camera/strobe on a January 5 cruise.
We're divers. I am NO photo pro. We just like to take some pictures of fish swimming away, turtles-- heads only, nothing but blue water, etc. --the usual unskilled photos that photo dummies take
We have a used Sealife SL 960 U/W flash it doesn't have a fiber optic cable and screws onto the bottom of the camera housing. We use it with our Canon Powershot S1 IS which has a housing. Many times while underwater, the strobe does not go off (making the pictures blah gray/blue).
When we try the strobe on dry land, it goes off just fine. We even treid it on the camera in a black bathroom and it took a fine picture of the bathtub and towels We took it to the pool last night for the SCUBA class to try it in the pool--worked fine.
Why does it not go off MOST of the time underwater regardless of the depth while we are diving?
I also posted this on the strobe section, but have only had 1 response.
