First Oly 5050 shots from Little Cayman

I hope this link works. You may have to register to view the photos. This was the first time I used the 5050/PT015, no external strobe, some level adjustments in PS Elements.

Looks like a great time diving!

For some reason I am getting a lot of pink/red on some of the images...especially the first turtle and the cod. Might just be my monitor...wait for others to chime in to see if they see the same thing.

How did you like the camera set-up?

Yeah...I see the pink, too. On the turtle is in skin areas of his neck and 'shoulders'.

Other than that...Cool Pics!

Some very cool pictures there! thanks for sharing.
Little tip: On the octopus pics, use the color cast tool (click around in the darkest or lightest area until the photo has a jean blue or yellow braunish hue) and then used the auto levels you maybe will get rid of the red spotties and get more color in the picture.

Thanks for your feedback Alcina. Yes, the turtle does have a red tint around the head area. I can't figure out what caused it, when I first viewed the shot, it looked like the red autofocus beam was showing up in the photo. Please let me know which other shots have a pink/red tint. Since I use an iMAC, maybe the colors are not calibrated for a PC monitor- I ma not sure.

justleesa, thanks for the tip on the octo- I tried everything to bring out some color with no success. I will try your suggestion.

Nice pics, did you use the internal flash or no flash?

Thanks Lawdiver,

I used the internal flash for all the photos. Many of the photos were adjusted in Adobe Elements to remove the blue and bring out the color. I still need to improve my technique but overall I am getting more comfortable with digital.
