Below are some of the my first photos from yesterday from my A80 since my last post and trying manual white balance - what a difference! Of course, a few questions:
- What are the red remnants in some of the photos? I posted the first two as extreme examples but others have more subtle remanants as in the schooling shot. I did notice this red on the lcd while shooting and wasn't sure what it was or if it would come out in the photos.
Is this due to incorrect white balance and camera not being able to handle it? I hope so and that it is not the camera going bad because it is also just started giving me a low battery indication intermittently when I am sure the batteries are good which worries me just before my next vacation - not sure if this is a coincidence.
- Where do you keep your dive slate? I need to attach is somewhere on the front of my bc because in my pocket was kind of awkward if I need to balance at different moments. I was balancing against the sand when in a pinch.
- How often to you change the white balance on a single dive? It seems like I needed to do it quite a few times especially the wreck I was on because I would switch from macro to wide and need to rebalance.
- Does the white balance need to be reset if I change from M to TV to P? Just curious - of course I only shoot in M!!
Also, the photos have been cropped and photoshopped to the best of my (limited) ability. And I think I can link from Kodak Gallery.
Any other hints are appreciated. Diving again on Saturday here in Florida and will post again and then on to Bonaire and Aruba!
Thanks!
