North Carolina inshore pics

[Scotttyd]

Well, after a 10 month hiatus due to numerous blowouts, I finally got to try the z240 strobe in NC. The viz was ok for this time of year (15-20 feet) with a lot of particulate. I was able to get some descent shots for me - it was nice having the long strobe arms (vs my old af35) to position the strobe at a larger angle from the subject to reduce backscatter. The dive site was the old dredge wreck (aka the playa) only about 14 miles of the coast (still in the green water).

Thanks, I do not claim to be an expert in identification, but I was under the impression it was an oyster toadfish? (or is sculpin a generic name for several fish in the family?)

Looks like you had fun. Thanks for the pics, those were challenging conditions I bet.

You are shooting a single Z240 with??

with a nikon p 5100 -

I had to laugh, here is a pic from the same site (and probably better conditions) two years ago when I was shooting a coolpix L11 (simple P&S) with a AF35 strobe, and when I was just starting to shoot pix

You got great pics. I'm always interested in seeing shots from the warm temperate environment (such as NC), rather than the usual tropical stuff. Thanks for posting.
