Re: Andaman Sea Blackwater

-I came across an article about Blackwater. Although he did not write as clearly as I did, there was an article in parallel with me.

Blackwater settings;

I try to splash with the camera set to 1/200 sec, f/10, iso 400 and then adjust for the subject. Some photographers prefer to shoot with a tighter aperture and higher iso for more depth of field, and while that can work to achieve a nice shot, I find the resulting restriction of light to be deleterious to the final image. You are welcome to play around here until you find a base setting that works for you.

- which, according to me, the iso 400 it uses here is still incorrect. If he had used iso 100, the photo would have been at least 3 times sharper.
