Actually, I don't think they even know she's there. You must be a very good diver aside from being an excellent photographer. I love how your shots are so unique.

Hahahaha! Thanks for the new recommendations, Ish, BabyD. I'll consider your suggestions but there's a new development and my friends may have to postpone their dive trip for health reasons. It's actually good news but we'll just have to spend our little reunions on dry land for the next 9...

Actually what’s great about this video is that it appeals to both the proBPW and the proBCD folk (or DIR and non-DIR?). Whatever your inclination, you’ll see what you want to see and you’ll be laughing (at each other?) for completely different reasons. The whole "this vs. that...

Oh I forgot to put the appropriate smilies. I actually found it hilarious - and also very enlightening :rofl3: :rofl3: Learned something new about some BPW users ;)

Yes so they'll marvel at the fact that some people need the BPW just to do regular dive skills and hover over silty bottoms- something that most experienced and properly trained divers can do with a regular jacket anyway. The message that comes across in this video (at least for BCD users who...

Maggie, so what resorts on white beach would you recommend? We can stay there but eat at Toko's. :) Isn't bigapple in Sabang too?

Ish, no final decision from my friends yet but maybe your video will arouse their curiosity. :D So which places would you recommend on white beach? It would be interseting to see how real life has evolved for the people on the island. Watching my kababayans working thier way thru school can...

Thanks for all the advice Howarde, John, Alcina, Charlie, Jim. I think I'll play around with RAW first and try a filter if I continue to get bad pics. Jim, reduced copies of the pics I posted are in my photo gallery and the EXIF data is indicated there. If you need the originals I can email...

You know I never got to check out the night life in PG during the 2 short nights we were there. Maggie, got any suggestions that would be interesting to girls rather than guys? Why should they have all the fun, right? ;)

Hi paperdesk. As far as I know, Quezon is a mountainous area and the nearest resort that offers diving is Maydavian which is in Narra- another municipality in Southern Palawan. I'll try to find thier number and send you a pm. However, I haven't tried diving there so can't tell you if it's ok...

Beautiful pictures Nick. Loved the DOF on the last photo and that the colors and background of the cuttlefish photo are a bit different from the usual cuttlefish shot. Ghost pipefish with diver was cool.

one more thing... when shooting RAW what white balance setting should I use? Auto? Cloudy? Manual? Will using manual WB while shooting RAW further improve the photo or make photoediting easier? Or will it make no difference?

Yes, and it's the most user-friendly. However if you try to correct a bad photo with "I'm feeling lucky", it may look worse or artificial. For instance, if the last photo's noise weren't reduced, IFL would brighten the colors but would also accentuate the noise.

Hey guys, turns out crestgel is a wiz at fixing noisy pics. Don't know how he did it but they do look much better to me. Before... After noise reduction... Before.... After... and the "after" pic fixed which I fixed with picasa.... There's a noticable...
