Hi Jenny, Welcome home. Looks like you had a great trip. The macro images are stellar, great color. Love all the softcoral WA too. I really like the image of the boys on the stairs. Can you tell us more about where you stayed and the dive operation?

thank you Steve! I went there at Raja Amapt Explorer. The facility and food of this boat is not so good....but they have great local team ( the leader "Herry"who is also recommended by Graham in this forum).

The guide took me to some important spots for these w/a photos.

cheers,

Hi Rusty,

thank you. my workflow is

1. open RAW file in Nikon capture NX

2. check and adjust the exposure,contrast,level,composition...etc

3.save as a JPEG file. (high quality)

4.open JPEG file again in photoshop, then only do the signature, save as a copy ( high quality).

cheers,

thank you Mike,Todd,Victor,Phil,Stewsmith,Girelle ( yes, that's me.... ) and Matthew!

cheers,

Very nice Jenny; I agree on the colors. You have 'the eye'!

Wow Jenny that's a fantastic set of images you went home with there. That really is a great range of topside, macro, wide angle, though do you know your manta shot is sideways?

You've certainly got your camera well dialed in.

How did you find the Grand Komodo boat you were on?

Thank you Jeffrey for the great encouragement!!

Hi Graham,

Thank you.

We chartered this boat with divers/instructors from Taiwan. i would like to go back diving in fakfak and Triton bay next year! Wish next time i can join your boat for critter safari.

Heheh...I know my manta is sideways... and i did that way because i want my manta look like USA's eagle or plane flying.

Do it work?!

Cheers,

Aha are you friends of Perry Kuo?
