Thanks.
I looked at all the images on the site you recommended. On a relative scale that photographer seems a 99.8 and I'm a 1. But it points me in the right direction.
I am limited in not having an outdoor pool with bright sunlight. I live in the Rockies at over 5,000 feet where we have Olympic class downhill skiing and recently a tough local ice hockey team but almost no private outdoor pools. So I'm limited to a friend's incdoor pool with dark wood roof and walls. My only hope for light is a bright day with sun through the west windows into the shallow end of the pool.
There are also not many scuba divers up here in the Rockies, but if I did find one who had a camera with a flash set up, I'm afraid what I'd get would be well lit underwater snapshots.
The model wants to shoot again and a couple others are interested so I think I'll try more in the shallower, more sunlight area and try for a higher film speed and also adjust the ISO as you suggested.
Gives me a goal and that makes it fun.
Thanks again.
