First shots with new Oly 4040 w/ Ikelite housing - Internal

4 posts
  1. I just got back from my first live-aboard trip and first attempt at photography.

    Here are the pics if you are interested.

     

    I would greatly appreciate any advice. Most of these are using an f8-10 with about a 1/80 to 1/200 SS.

     

    Thanks for all of your advice over the past 6 months. Cris

  2. Hi Chris,

     

    Thanks for sharing your photos.

     

    My first suggestion is to work within the constraints of your system.

     

    For shots w/ the internal flash - make sure you subject is about a foot away. Or do silouettes with divers and such.

     

    Second tip is to choose carefully and only post your best photos. Quality over quantity is more impressive every time.

     

    Cheers

    James

  3. Well, one thing you have learned is that the internal flash is limited. But, you probably knew that already.

     

    Are these photos retouched? If not, Photoshop (or photoshop elements) or a similar program can bring out much color.

     

    I certainly didn't take time to look over your vast selection, but the little things look better than the big stuff as I would expect.

     

    You have a few photos that will end up being keepers.

  4. Thanks for the suggestions. Cris
