So, my main "dood" let me borrow his strobe for this trip, and yah, i'm in love. Buying one. Practice makes perfect, and i need lots of practice to get my settings dialed in using the strobe. So after a few pics on the evening snorkel i "think" i know what i need to do. Somewhere, somehow, my camera housing has hidden the felt pad that lets me change modes on the fly. So, i'm stuck with whatever i decide to shoot with, in the snorkel episode i went with Tv (Shutter mode). Speeds i changed only twice, but the flash dial was all over the place. Good practice. Showered, "beer-veraged", stuffed. There is a pina colada with my name on it waiting for me at the bar, then the hammock over the water...
Enjoy some practice, just a few shots from the evening, nothing fabulous from strobe practice yet. Saving the rest for story time when we get back.

Good strobe, bad wave. Slight adjustment for blue and whites in Photoshop.
The waves lifted on me when i shot the little puffer (bottom of pic).

Strobe on, no adjustments, straight off the card.

Ham, or is it Cheese (a.k.a. Bud) swimming away. Auto Levels in Photoshop

uhm, nice backdrop, but the subject swam away... ;)
