New Oly SP-350 Pics

[CheddarChick]

Ok after my temper tantrum this AM about how my pictures were awful, I listened to the crowd and went back and played with the camera some more. OK the raw feature is very cool. When I looked at my pictures (over 80) and found only 2 that didn't really stink, I also found a few I shot in RAW. I was able to take this one from this

to this

Or this:

to this

So maybe there is hope for me.....

you can learn a lot about how to shoot by watching what you do to the image in your RAW converter. What did you do to the last one?

Great job!

These photos look like they were taken in difficult conditions. You did quite well under the circumstances! Realize that poor visibility makes photography tricky. When you shoot in this type of water, you have to get really close. If you're more than 6 inches away, you will experience a lot of backscatter. That's one reason you see the pros with dual strobes on long arms. With the camera only, it's best to stick to macro. Ideally, you would have a fisheye lens and dual strobes. Maybe next time...

The good news is that you understand white balance and thought to shoot RAW. Had you been diving on a coral reef, you would be a very happy camper!

Actually Alcina I used the Oly master software and adjusted the white balance, then saved it as a jpeg and sent it to my Microsoft imaging program and just used the instafix on it. So I was thrilled when it actually worked.
Desert;
