Underwater Cave Photography is hard! (2nd Trip)
Sunday, June 1st, 2008
Following on from my first serious attempt at underwater cave photography. I decided to play with a remote slave.
I have two Ikelite DS-125 strobes. I left one on the camera housing and set up another one with a slave sensor. My plan was to revisit Cenote Taj Mahal and check out how the slave would light up a small formation. The slave sensor I used is triggered by a flash. You can change the sensitivity of this trigger. I thought hmmmm.. caves dark so daylight wont trigger this. Surely if its set to max sensitivity it will be easier to hide maybe. Of course i was wrong. So here's what I learned about strobes in underwater caves.
