First time photos underwater with my C5050

[AlaskaDiver]

I bought a used PT015 housing last summer and never got around to using it until my trip to Palau in February. Please take a look at my shots and provide your feedback. I used an INON 2000W strobe. It rocked! The mfr recommended the use of only one link as a starter. I know I will need to use all three next time for greater mobility of the strobe. I wondered why my pictures started getting lighter and pinker as the end of the trip neared. It seems as though my LCD was part of the recall batch. At least I was able to get some pictures from the trip.

Looks like you had a great trip. Hope that Oly fixes your camera quickly.

Here is the Gallery link for those that don't have it shown on their skin of choice:

Paula eh, lucky guy ?
Well for your first time photos I have to say that they're quite good.

These are some of my favorites..

Keep shooting, you'll only get better .

Thanks Jamdiver. The Napolean Wrasse was following us around like a dog since other divers had apparently fed it boiled eggs. It liked our bubbles too. The gray reef shark was taken at Blue Corner where we hooked into a nice moderate current. I love the bright colors of the soft corals. So many beautiful shapes and colors to see.

Thanks for posting, I very much enjoyed the photos. I loved the Napoleon Wrasse.

Thanks for sharing! Really loved the grey reef shark and nautilus! What do you think about blue corner? I've heard it's a great place but hooking oneself to a rock kinda don't sound like diving to me Do you have a strobe or just manual w/b?

Cool pics. Can't say I've ever seen a Napoleon Wrasse in real life.

I love the Nautilus...what a great find! Great shots! Oly got my camera back to me in about 10 days.

If they were my first shot I would be happy. Keep up the good work. Hope your camera is all rite, I've had troubles with my 5050!
