I would class myself as a complete novice photographer, more at the point and shoot end of the scale rather than knowing about F stops and ISO settings etc. I brought a Canon G1 X for a diving trip last week and then after reading al the negative reviews, wondered if I had wasted my time and...

Thanks for the above responses, much appreciated the time taken to reply. azscubadude, I think your bang on the money, from the above water pictures I have taken, the image qulaity has been really impressive. I am not a professional photographer and if the AF takes a second to lock on, then for...

I can't seem to find any underwater images from a G1X anywhere on the internet ? Has anyone else spotted any ? I have a G1X and I am leaving for a liveaboard in the Maldives at the weekend, I am not a camera expert by a long shot and every review I have been reading about the G1X has more or...

Excellent comments which is what I was hoping for, I am not very good with the basics of photography and I am even worse when it comes to Lightroom and editing. I thought I had over cooked some of the colours so it's good to have this feedback. A link to a small video clip of manta's on a night...

Hi All Just returned from a weeks liveaboard in the Maldives, took along my little Canon S90 and had a wonderful time. I don't know my F stop from my shutter speeds but it was great fun to use :D Here is a link to my photos that I took last week...

Thank you both for taking the time to respond, much appreciated. Great solution Outlaw 13, I will order from Snake River.

Hi All Can anyone advise me if there is a UK retailer that sells a GoPro HD, with a flat lens ?. Also, do I need some kind of marine housing for this unit, or is it waterproof straight out of the box. Forgive my ignorance if this is a ridiculous question. Thanks in advance.

I hope you get the chance to post some of the results once you have had a chance to download them.

The dive op were Maldives Scuba Tours.....brilliant company, I have used them many times and every trip has been fantastic. Flew direct from Heathrow, direct to Male and we was in the water diving within an hour or so of clearing customs.

Hi All I didn't use a strobe or flash on any of the pictures, these were all taken using the natural sunlight, all above 20 metres depth. I just had my S90 and Inon lense. The sea was very flat calm, but March is the best month to visit the Maldives for the calm weather, I have been other...

Hi All Just got back from a weeks diving in the Maldives, I will be the first to admit I struggle to understand the complexities of the modern day camera, so I packed my little Canon S90 and Inon Wide Angle conversion lens and off I went. Anyway here are the results, just a bit of fun but I...

Thanks for all the tips about raw and jpeg info, plus the editing tips. I appreciate everyone taking the time to respond with their experiences, thanks all.

Hi Underwater & Warmwater Wank...(great name)....many thanks for taking the time in responding....after doing some checks and playing around with the camera, I had indeed not set the camera to shoot in RAW at all.....hence my problem. I have just one more question...I have down loaded some...

Hi All I have taken some pictures with my S90 shooting RAW only, when I download them using Canon DPP software, they seem to be downloading as a Jpeg file.... I am obviously doing something wrong. Can anyone give me some pointers please on what they think I am missing or not doing....as you...

Nemrod / bvanant......brilliant, this is just the type of plain speaking advice I have been looking for, many thanks. I know I am pushing my luck here....I don't suppose you could give me a rough idea of a strobe I would be looking for...simple to use / set up and not bust the bank ? I know...

Thanks Song....for taking underwater snaps and having fun with a camera whilst diving then the S90/S95 has worked well for me in various warm water dives... Halemano...I have been reading up on camera literature on strobes, lenses etc, and I am always looking to learn and advance from the...

Thanks Terry......I am glad I posted them now with all the encouraging feedback I have received.....thanks everyone!

Thanks mslise....I love my S90/95, easy camera to use that produces good pictures...for me personally I think the larger pro rigs are awesome (once you know what your doing) , but such a pain in the ass to take abroad and just ridicoulsy expensive. Durwin99....I am going on the Sea Spirit this...

Hi Durwin Thanks for correcting me, especially with the full name of Lankanfinolhu.....always good to know the exact location. I am lucky enough to be going back in March as it was such a good trip ! Thanks for the positive feedback for my pictures! Wossa

Hi Xariatay The majority of my Manta pics were taken at a place called 'Lanken'.....there was always between 5 and 12 Mantas every visit.
