Hi @zachb13,
I like how moody that shot is, with the strobe light nicely blending in the ambient light.
You’ve got yourself a lovely setup that will serve you well for general wide-angle.
Here’s a few things you could try to improve on this shot:
1/ If you have other divers nearby, try and frame so they aren’t ‘cut’, like the one in the top right. If it’s your dive buddy, communicate with them on ways to include them in your shots, it can be great fun, refer to this lesson for more tips on that.
2/ even without a diver in the frame, this image could benefit from more negative/breathing space around the wreck. You don’t have to have the whole thing in the frame, but I wish the propeller wasn’t cut. Were you zoomed out down to 9mm for that shot, and are you using a dome port? This would help you maximise the field of view of your lens (see the Photo Equipment course, “which lenses for which images” for more infos on that).
3/ Play around with off-camera lighting. For example, setting a strobe or video light inside the cockpit and make it glow from inside can look great. Are your strobes connected to your housing through electrical cables or fibre optics?
