On more than several occasions, I've tried to photo a critter deep inside a crevice, hole in the wall, or crack with Dual Strobes and of course housing/trays etc... the smaller the size the better obviously, but does anyone have any "Special" technique that gets fairly good results?
I've tried to bring the strobes down to just above the lens, but that just makes backscatter and almost impossible to get through.
I've tired detaching the strobe, manually holding it out, further away and it improved a little..haven't tried the tri-pod yet, but not sure that would work as it's fairly dark in there..
I've tried having someone shine a dive lite, Hi-intensity? and that seemed to work better.
Anyway, most of the shots are of our Giant Pacific Octopus (GPO) and although my dive buddy sees them all the time, loves to tell me about the ones I MISSED... I always counter by asking if he had a picture of it... heheh...
So I'm having problems trying to "Get the Photo" as proof... (all in good fun here)
So thought I'd see if anyone else had some thoughts...
thanx much...
