    Hey @Bax737

    Well done on snooting this little nudi (and kudos to Chris for equipping us with his very handy snoot!).

    The side lighting is adequate, allowing the nudi to “pop” nicely from the kelp, while revealing colours.

    I would like it better if you went a little closer (I assume this was with a macro lens), so that the kelp starts from the bottom of the frame. Otherwise, it looks like a piece of kelp (and nudi) floating in the middle of nowhereness.

    You can also crop of course, but getting closer also means you can dial down the power of your remote strobe.
