Nice shots but they're Huge! You might want to resize them down a bit. Have you tried photoshopping your photos? Some of them are quite blue.

After just some basic levels editing:

btw. your camera supports raw, you can use it and get much better results...

Yup I shot alot in RAW but still working on how to use rawshooter, I can link it to a smaller size. And no I havent edited them yet, time isnt on my side lately..:)

There linked to smaller shots, I'll have to bust open PS and try working on them, still trying to organize all my shots out here still. :)

Good to see that at least someone is getting in the water :D How are you enjoying your new home?

[Thalassamania]

Great. I can't wait.

Nice find on the Nudi.

Ah damn justleesa I love it here, they bury bury this haole arse here. :) Yeah between the high waves and nasty surge its been pretty much hit and miss, but Sat/Sun were nice. Not to many divers out, and I hit spots that only 4x4 can get into. Found a beautiful spot with alot tunnels, entrance is a breeze but the exit is hellish. :) Gotta time the sets just right.

Otherwise I hit some of the more calmer sites. :) Either way I'm learning alot, especially nav. :) And I get alot more time to work on different shots or just waiting around to see what pops up.

Thanks redrover, I take my sweet time diving now, sometimes I'll just go with the surge in one spot for awhile to see what happens, amazing when your not rushing around what you see. :)

Just lovely......
Have you tried manual white balance in your shots?

It would remove a lot of the blue colour cast :)

Great stuff though, love the Moray!

Yeah on some shots I've been foolin with the WB and tryin to get it right, but they havent seem to come out to well. I've been shooting alot of RAW w/ jpeg now. Surge has really been killin me out there as far being able to get a good focus lock going, so hopefully after it settles down I can keep experimenting.
