The Material Service Wreck, Lake Michigan

2 posts
  1. This wreck lies in approx 30 feet of water. The visability was 10-15 feet. I'm shooting with a Sea and Sea P&S Dx-860G. No flash was used (I have a YS-110 strobe, but didn't use it because of viz). So it was available light ISO 400 set on cloudy. And I was using a the wide angle lens (20mm). I did use Phhop elements 6.0. I only used the "aute smart fix" option as it got rid of a lot of the greenish color the water has.

     

    If your not familiar with the 860-G it has limited features. I can not select F-stop or shutter spead unless I go to night mode. In that case, I have the choice of F2.8 or F7.2; Exporsure options of 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 8.

     

    Since I wasn't shooting in night, so it was shot at F7.30, shutter speed 1.00,a nd exposure time 1/75.

     

    I do some reef diving, but I love wreck photograpy. Let me know what you guys think. http://www.flickr.com/photos/30124633@N06/2820503616/

  2. Hi Kirk,

    I think it's very difficult to get exciting color images under these conditions; I would suggest converting some of these to B&W for more mood and drama.
