I just got back from Maui yesterday and here are some of my pics.





















I took about 300 pics but these are some of the best.

Excellent! What kind of watercase do you use? Or is it a camera specifically engineering for underwater photography?

ReefMaster DC310 Digital Pro Set

I've had it for about 2 years and with the wide angle and zoom lens you can get some really great shots.

I take a a couple of hundred shots and normally 1/2 come out good.

Well good for me at least.

I even got some good dolphin pics and movies but the movies are over 3 meg in size. One is over 8 meg.

I posted most of them here if you are interested.

If you have followed my progress since I first got my digital camera you might remember I had a lot of early problems shooting in high contrast situations...with lots of reading and the use of photoshop I found combinations of adjustments that help bring out detail and colour in this type of circumstance.

What do you think? *shrugs*

In photoshop CS2 (version 9) there is image/adjustments/shadow&highlight... that is the first and most important command that I have found for this kind of situation...then I tweak saturation/lightness and then contrast/brightness...took less than a minute

I've never used Photoshop; just cheaper programs.  Sounds like gamma though.

Great underwater pictures!  That's a pretty nice camera you've got there too.  

When I was in Hawaii two years ago, I tried the disposable underwater cameras but was very unhappy with the results.
