Any recommendations?
I'm just starting out diving (In fact I'm hopefully getting my open water certification in 12 days.
I have a Ewa Marine housing for my Canon 1Ds (accepts my 550 elx flash too)
I tried this rig when snorkling last year in the keys, but my photos sucked.
Should I try to master working with my DLSR and on-camera TTL flash or should I consider something like a Sea&Sea DX8000 with external flash on an arm ?
This was one of the better shots with my DLSR in the Ewa housing:
(green, not in focus, not sharp)
Same image fixed up in photoshop. An improvement, but I want shots to come out of camera as good as this or better without having to PS each one....
Is it just trial and error?
I thought it would be easy, but I was amazed what a science the whole UW thing is. A whole new world.
Any advice from you pros would be greatly appreciated.
