Sipadan photographs

[sipadiver]

Hi,

I went diving at Sipadan a few weeks ago. Visibility was not so good due to a sudden storm that week. The current was also very strong and made it extremely hard to take good photos.

I took several nice photos nonetheless. You can view them here on my blog.

I can't seem to upload a single photo (despite resizing them).

Thanks for posting the pics. We were there in DEC 07 and these just make us want to go back.

Thanks for the kind replies. i used a Fuji F31D - no strobe. I'm still experimenting with the camera. I found that using flash doesn't work so well for far range shots. And at times, using the flash for close shots is no help too.

Hey your pics looks great! Those pictures on the nudisbranchs are excellent and w/o the use of any strobe. Well done!

Just curious about your camera settings, wat kind of settings u have on for most of the pictures? Especially those nudisbranch pictures. If iirc, F31D have both aperture and shutter priority, did you use those functions extensively on your pictures?

Great pics anyway...

Thanks for the compliments! In reply, no, I did not use the aperture and shutter A/S mode. I did however experiment with the manual mode which had higher ISO settings. However, I am not sure which photos I took the shots with.

I ought to shot the 1st shot using one setting and the next - on another - to see how they turn out.

I'll happily admit I'm still a novice with the camera- above and under. Only just got the cam last October and taken it for 3 dive trips so far.

Any suggestions or constructive criticism are welcomed!
