• Use the smallest aperture on your camera (usually around
an f8.)
• Take a picture; adjust the strobe power setting up or down
as needed.
• If your camera indicates overexposure, use a faster shutter
speed or aim away from the bright sunlight. (Use your
camera owner’s manual to find the exposure information.)
CATHY’S TIP 2:
Don’t stir up sand where you are shooting.
• Adjust your weights so that you can float without moving.
• On sandy bottom, kneel or stand but don’t kick.
