Oy. :11:
I've been trying to come up with some things to say and sure could use some help. This is what I came up with so far:
1) You are in a "hostile" environment, in that besides trying to get the photo, you have to worry about your air supply, your no-deco limits, your buoyancy so you don't destroy the reef. You also have to worry about not getting lost.
2) Reds disappear in the first 15 feet (is that right?) of water so you have to compensate with manual white balance or strobes.
3) Things seem closer and larger than they really are making it sometimes difficult to aim your strobe (it will be a miracle if I can ever learn how to do that).
4) The damn fish move so if you have a camera with shutter lag, you get a lot of fish butt shots. (I can demonstrate a lot of those )
5) Once the guide points something out, good luck getting a shot before every scares it away.
I figure I'd demonstrate the above points (I have photos of everything, including a traffic jam on the reef in Thailand and my inept ability to aim a strobe).
Any other ideas? Thanks guys.
