First of all, thanks for all the suggestions I received when purchasing my camera. Here are the pics from the Bonneville Seabase on Friday. This was my first time shooting UW photos. These were taken with my Canon A570 with the Canon housing, mostly w/o a flash. The water was green and murky with lots of floating particles, w/ vis around 10'. They were shot with the Aperture all the way down the 2.6, Macro, ISO between 80 and 200 (usually 100), and in the Cloudy or Underwater modes. I didn't want to mess w/ manual white balance on my first try. I edited the pics with Picasa. The originals came out very green so I used the Auto Color, Auto White Balance, and the Shadows/Highlights features of Picasa and it worked pretty well.
I would appreciate your suggestions on how to improve my shots. They seem fuzzy and grainy to me. Only about 20-30% of the shots were "keepers" and those are the ones in the album. Thanks.
