Pics from Bonaire Trip

[ejg62]

I post pictures on this forum from time-to-time; primarly when I take my camera with me on a dive. I recently completed a 1 week trip to Bonaire and needless to say I took my camera with me. Attached are several pictures from that trip. The complete photo album can be found by clicking here and selecting the Bonaire 06 photo album. Hope you all enjoy.

Very good pictures! You do have an external strobe don't you? Have you gotten better results with strobe and cloudy w/b than just auto w/b with a strobe? Have you tried manual w/b? For me that seems to make all the difference. On the other hand I don't have an external strobe

Very nice! I also would like to know what setup you're using.

On what dive sites were these taken?

Why are they all trying to bite you?

I use an Oly C-5060 with the PT-020 housing and recently purchased the Sea & Sea YS-90auto strobe. The w/b on these pics is set to cloudy. At home I can get away with the w/b set at Auto, but I have had problems with over-exposer in the the clearer water and whiter bottom of the caribbean. I have also tried manual w/b, but if not used for several minutes the camera automatically shuts down. When this happens as well as with depth changes I must manually reset w/b and I forget to do this.

With regards to the strobe I have used it for only a short period of time, most of the pics in my gallery are with the internal strobe. The big difference with a strobe is more color further away from the camera, but the big difference is less bacscatter if a set the strobes angle is set correctly. However, it is difficult to get the right angle is the fish (or whatever) is underneath a rock.
