Hey @robink23 !
It’s great to meet you, and I am glad to read you’re enjoying The Underwater Club 🙂
You said you’re at the beginning of your UW photography journey, and you’re in for a treat, and you’re right, it’s a very very addictive pursuit…
Growing your equipment step-by-step is not a bad thing: starting with ambient light only, you’ll see the merits of shooting with/against the light, you’ll be more sensitive to ‘mood’ and the atmosphere of your shots, something that can be overlooked, when using a pair of powerful strobes that paint all the scene with artificial lights.
As explained in the ‘1 vs 2 strobes lesson’, I know I’ve personally got stuck for a few years, because I started off with two big strobes that were always on, which stopped me from learning what lighting can do to texture and shadows.
Anyways, enjoy the journey, do post your photos in for review and if you’d like to do it live, we have 2 photo critiques webinars scheduled next month 🙂
