I was comparing some of sand tiger pics from here in North Carolina, all were taken with the same wideangle lense, nikon p5100. The first one was with a ikelite AF35 strobe, the others with an inon z240.
This is from last year
I used a f-stop of 3.6, ISO 100 shutter speed of 1/125. It was suggested to try to use a smaller f-stop to get more definition in the picture. This year I was on the same wreck and tried to do this. These pics all have higher f-stops of around 7 (the limit of my camera). I was able to get more definition/crispness, but in order to do this I had to bump up the iso to 200 with the same shutter speed. The pics are a tad grainy. What can I do to get a crisper picture. I attached a picture that another diver on the same wreck took - albeit with a much more advanced DSLR - what tips/adjustments are there that I could do to improve mine?
