First UW pics

[scubachris82]

Hi Everyone,

I took my camera out for the first time this weekend. It is an olympus c-3000 with a pt-010 case, no strobes or anything and it was all set on automatic. I took lots of pictures and I am happy with about 4. Oh well, i guess that's how everyone starts. Anyway, I thought I'd post a couple, and if anyone has any suggestions on how to make these better for next time I'd love to hear from them.

Thanks,
Chris

Not bad. I just got a C-5000. If my pictures are as sharp as yours I'll be very happy. I figure composition will come with time, so for the first few dives I'll be happy if the pictures just resemble what I see.

Great first pix!! As for taking fifty; keeping four; I don't think that's exclusively a newbie quality; lol. Very nice work.

Nice job Chris. When I started taking pictures underwater (about 30 years ago) I think I fired off about 5000 frames before I got a scientifically recognizable image. You got some on your first try in cold water! And 4/50 is not bad. Underwater photography is a low batting average endeavor. Keep up the good work!
