Re: Triggering strobes on the poolside

Do your strobes have any sort of optical slave mode? If yes, you could use an optical trigger on your camera, plus a fiber optic cable going topside.

That said, keep in mind that SeaFrogs domes top out at 8 inches, which is very limiting for a wide-angle lens on full frame. You didn't specify what lens you're using, but since it's a pool scenario, I'm guessing that macro is unlikely. If you're using a 16-35 or a 12-24, don't expect anything resembling sharp corners.
