[lovells19]

have like another 100plus lookable shots haha.. hopefully can put up before my next trip.. now using 56k to put up.. hell it's slow! :P

i like the leaf fish. too bad the pygmy is out of focus. Isn't RAW great? can correct the color temp. It's like u are doing a manual white balance post dive.

As for conversion software:

jimmy jimmy please don't cry
You'll forget it by and by
we'll pass u Photoshop CS one fine day
so you can throw your old one away.

PS: if u don't know the melody of this song, congrats, you are still young

[lovells19]

ah yeah now i can only edit after i've converted them to tiff or jpeg leh
so not much difference,

i know the melody so well... but i'm still young....

Lovells, i didn't see the "dunnowhat crab"?!!!!

just wondering, are u using a strobe?
cuz your tomatoclown shot, the fish seems to POP out of the picture.. colour for the fish is vibrant as compared to the anemone.

and your cuttlefish seems to be crossed with u. did u piss him off? but frankly, the cuttlefish shot seems just too much in the face.

your flashing seems good, seems to be illuminating the subject well.

yeap.. wasted the first day tryin to get use to the strobe
2nd day onwards was better, got a hang of the strobe, the rest is trial and error. well that kinda explains why i have abit over 700 pictures with 11 dives

the fish color itself is already so vibrant, bright orange, it caught my eye from far far away.

i like the cuttlefish shot, i was hoping he would open up it's tenticles or something like that :P

my flashing is lucky lah :P beginner's luck lor!
