• Aim your strobe straight out, rather than tilted down, for subjects

beyond a foot from the camera.

• Extend your strobe as far away from the lens as possible to reduce

backscatter.

CATHY’S TIP 5:

Set the white balance for cloudy to increase color.

Experiment with other settings for your conditions. For example, the
flourescent setting may give better results in green colored water.

CATHY’S TIP 6:

Don’t scare the fish

• When you see a turtle, don’t swim directly at it. If it is eating,

approach slowly and let him get used to you. If it is moving, swim
quickly at an angle to a position in front of it. Sometimes they will
swim right into you.

• When working with fish near coral heads, have a buddy swim to the

other side of the coral head and encourage, not chase, the fish to
your side.
