Sold a few lenses from old rig and invested in another slightly more powerful strobe to cut the murk. Grabbed a couple dives yesterday with Bruce Waites and Jim Rossi trying to duplicate the dive with Bruce and three stellars . We got skunked again on the sea lions at the Malahat. Lots of California's around in the area just not anywhere near us. Jim and I got another one in at Mermaid wall before he returned to Sechelt. Temp 45 deg F, Vis soso 70 ft with more particulate in water than recently .
There will be lots of learning coming up getting the two strobe steps more fluid mentally and their light wash more flattering beyond the more light on subject stage. Learned that two light sources equals twice as many backscatter opportunities .

Closest we would get to the sea lions are the two on the breakwater in far backround! |
