7/11 Maui pics

Today's dive was at Marty's Reef at 60 feet.

IMHO I think a black subject underwater is the most difficult to photograph. I probably took 20+ photos of this Frogfish and these two were the best of the lot.

Very nice!!! I agreee it is very hard to balance out a picture of a black frogfish. Did you take the picture in RAW?

Very cool.

I'm seriously thinking about getting an Oly underwater rig as my dedicated underwater rig, instead of building a full kit for my Nikon D100... people seem to be getting good results with the little Oly's, gosh dernit....

That's a negative on the RAW. My C4000Z doesn't have RAW capability.

It's almost impossible to get a good photo of a black Frogfish Jim but these are terrific.
The only decent shots I've gotten is one that was covered in sand in a heavy current. Good job on those.

Cool pix! Maybe if you photoshopped all the rock off from upper right corner of your eel pic it'd look even more fabulous. Great light and all. I haven't had luck to try and shoot black froggie but those pics look just terrific

Wow, I love those frogfish! Nice shot of the eel, also.
