The closer you are the more light your object gets from the strobe = more colors to adjust (depth makes a difference too).

I'm too poor for a strobe. That would surely help

 

[justleesa]

no internal flash?

i didn't use it. I just had slower shutter speeds. to tell you the truth, it has never been so bright when I was diving , coming from new england and all.

My dive buddy and did the Kaka'ako dive the week before T-day. We went into the harbor from the steps. Yeah, we know it's kind of yucky...but is was 2 awesome dives...actually the best vis I'd ever had there. On the 2nd dive we saw 6 leaf fish, purple, black and white, one giant green lionfish, and one bad blending in frogfish (also giant!). Saw the lionfish and 2 leaf fish on the first dive. What a treat. I've never dove there and not seen something sort of "unusual"...turkey fish, lionfish, frogfish, lots of turtles, freaky dump stuff from the boats. Good place to collect stuff for your aquarium.

How shallow were you when you took the pics?

Sorry I missed you guys.

We dove the pipe from a boat, but there were a couple of dive boats out there.

We did get confronted by DLNR Friday night when exiting the Pipe around 9:00pm. Guess they didn't think someone scuba diving off a kayak at the Pipe was doing so just for fun. They thought I was probably excercising my native Hawaiian gathering rights and taking whatever the heck I could poke. 3 game wardens and 1 police officer = one good laugh. '..uh...no. No fish, no spears...well look at the bright side...at least you guys aren't the Coast Guard!...'

The pole fisher-peeps were looking at us like we were on crack.

One yak, 5 divers...

Main thing is we had fun.

It took me 2 minutes to reach the drop zone while taking the other four peeps 10 minutes or so. But the trouble was not worth the one dive.

Glad y'all had such a good dive. I'll try to drop by tomorrow to get some gear tips.

Didn't get to dive with y'all. Didn't get to go on the boat. Why?? Well, my wife was recovered enough from her fall. But, I had what I've been told is the "Oahu Sore Throat". Oh, well.

Ooops, almost forgot. NICE pictures.

"... body surfers only.. no surfboards, boogie boards, nor kayaks..."
