Hey Butch,
I will be enthusiastic if you teach me tech diving.

Butch, I never said my life goals were high.

So how did you find the board?

Mlody11,
You're absolutely right, the manual white balance makes all the difference. I shoot in aperture mode and also manually set the white balance but last weekend, set the white balance to the underwater mode. However, following taking my shots I noticed my camera was in the auto mode. I must have accidentally been rotating the selector dial with those darn 7mm gloves. My distance to subject was approximately 15 feet in the photo I posted and had the strobe fired (was set to no pre-flash), it really wouldn't have mattered.

Which camera did you use for the picture? Its obviously a SLR since you have the aperature mode. Gotta love that mode for underwater shots. What kind of lense do you use? Its interesting that the picture is more blue then green. Perhaps the a diffrent time of year causes a change in the water's spectrum filtering.

Oh here is something I've been pondering about... Have you tried to use a lense with Vibration reduction underwater? I've taken pictures with it on land and it does miracles for pictures with a slow shutter speed. Combine a lens that goes to 1.2 on the f stop with VR and im thinking you can take pictures in slow really low light conditions.

I know this should probably go to the photo forum...
Anyone up for diving this Saturday at Haigh?

I plan on being at Haigh this Saturday. Trying to console myself for having to cancel my trip on the Len Der last weekend! :-(

Sure Electric, Let's go. Just let me know when you want to get started.

 

[jepuskar]

Butch, your profile says experienced diver. Is that correct?

 

[Mlody11]

I will surely be there. Probably a bit later... around 11-12ish. I will once again have my absolute scuba tank if you want to find me .

 

[scubabutch]

Jason, was I suppose to put something else down?

 

[jepuskar]

Butch, personally I think you are VERY experienced!!!!
