I am having a problem with my underwater camera and was wondering if any of you could help me. First, let me tell you what my gear is. I have a 35mm Sea&Sea MX-5 II with a Sea&Sea YS-20A strobe. I use 400 speed film and set my strobe to the 400 speed setting. Now for my problem. I went out to the Russian Freighter about a month ago and took some photos. I entered the water at about 1:00 pm and it was pretty sunny. When I had my photos developed it looked like I was on a night dive. The area righ in front of my camera was bright but the background was pitch dark. Is it a sub-standard strobe problem or a sub-standard operator problem? You can see the pictures i'm talking about by clicking on my gallery under my stats section.
