Minimal TG-6 lighting recommendation needed

Are you using the PT059 housing? I didn't think I got enough flash from the camera with just the housing. Was there anything you specifically did NOT like about the Weefine? Were you doing macro or other kinds of shots? Thanks!

I use the PT059 housing and used only the flash for Pigmy Sea Horses. I use my video light on 10% power and point it away from the sea horse but use the 120 beam on the edge to just get enough focus light.
Then flash for photo

I am, yeah. Totally a YMMV situation I guess. With the ring light, I found it very hard to get any consistent exposures. Some too dark and some blown out. I got more consistent results without it. Of course that could also be lack of education on my part with the light. But the simpler the better for me, so as long as I can get good enough results with just the camera's and housing's lighting, I'm much more likely to take it on almost every dive. Photography isn't my main interest underwater, so I'm not going for National Geographic level stuff here.

Hmmm. Maybe I should stick with what I have. I don't like learning curves. I ruin too any shots! Thanks!

 

[hazmat]

Yeah, I'm more than happy with these from fairly minimal effort.

with a video light

with a strobe

both pretty good for amateur photography

I moved to a strobe - it guarantees a faster shutter speed

composition is key but if your ISO is high or shutter speed too low, then composition is useless
