Please adjust my expectations...

  1. Hi Kim,

     

    Have no fear of posting here! I've found this to be a very helpful and generous community. If you just want nice comments, post in the Gallery and Showcase section. On the other hand, if you post in the Image Improvement section, I'm certain you will get helpful, constructive comments from the "real" ( :D ) photographers that will improve your pics. Post away!

  2. Hi

    another simple tip somebody gave me is to turn the camera upside down so the internal flash lights up the bottom of your pics and so the reef or the critter that your taking

    not the big blue bit

    have fun

    It's more common to mask off the internal flash or to put a diffusor in front of it if it can't be disabled .

     

    It is a problem I have had with my SLR, where the internal flash is used to trigger external strobes. I have a home-made black disc that fits over the lens and blocks the light that leaks from the housing into the port, around the lens.

  3. Welllllll....... Here's a link to my adventures. Remember, just an amateur snapper and novice diver (slightly obsessed with palm trees)....

     

    Kim,

     

    Thanks for sharing your images from your recent trip to Belize with us. I'd say you're off to a great start in underwater photography. I even enjoyed the topside shot of the palm tree :blink:
