Nice pics. Thanks for sharing

What's your camera setup?

 

[String]

EOS 450D/Ikelite housing with old ikelite substrobe 100A for those. My compact A620 drowned in July.

SLR, that's why you have such nice wide angle shots

 

[String]

10mm lens. Although im using the 18-55 more often now. Wide is nice for reef shots but for stingray, anenomefish and all the others i really do need more zoom.

Great quality photo's. You have enhanced them with software nicely and so my question is which software and is it easy to use. (I'm considering buying one of the Adobe Photoshop downloads - any advice or thoughts). I would add that I was in Dahab on clean up day 2 weeks ago- the beach between eel garden and lighthouse was a filthy disgrace-any thoughts on why there's so much rubbish everywhere and especially on the beach?.

nice shots. Are those filtered with some software or are they raw. The reason why im asking is because my shots always end up with too much blue and not crystal clear as some of you guys. Im wondering if im missing a step to make them clearer.

thanks

If shot in RAW then they can be edited with something like Photoshop or Lightroom and many camera software that comes with them looks great.

Otherwise you should take the time to read up on "White Balance". That will help correct the blue out of the photos.

Nice shots! I thought I had seen a big puffer fish before...not even close. Thanks for sharing your pictures

You can still clean them up with a photo editor. Just adjust the levels until it looks good.

Alcina has some excellent information here.

Get the blue out.
