Canon G1 X - Galapagos

[Wossa]

Just got back from a great couple of weeks in Galapagos. I took my G1 X which I know has not been the most successful received release from Canon recently, but as a point and shoot photographer, it was good to use.

I have two galleries....below the waves and above the waves. Like I say, I am a point and shoot, keep it easy, so dont expect anything brilliant, but it may give other people an idea of the G1 X in sometimes darker conditions.

Below the waves....

Great pics and video. Amazing to see so much ocean life.
What housing did you use? Just curious.

Nice shots Wossa!

It looks like some of your video you either did a white balance for more color, yes?

Did you set up the "Shortcut" button for that? Just curious......

Testing the Canon G1X underwater (pool tests at least) this weekend myself.......

That first shot of the dolphins was very beautiful; quite a nice look at a pod. Congrat.s.

How are the shots taken? Subject wise very good but there is huge luminance noise which should not be there to this extent in a large sensor camera?
Are those jpeg done by the camera?

Thanks Interceptor, great feedback, really appreciate it. I think the majority of my problems are simply down to the fact I am not really sure what I am doing, especially with processing. I shot in RAW, but then realised my LR3 is not compatable with the G1 X raw files, so had to then convert to JPeg. Might sound like a really dumb question, what exactly is luminance noise, and how can I identify it in the images ? Really appreciate any pointers.....

WOW Wossa,

Where is the "LOVE" button for these shots - they make me want to get on over there right now .... So well done!

Here is a link to luminance noise ... hope it helps.

Keep them coming, you've got a talent ...

Dhaas.....you are correct, I did set the short cut button for WB.

Thanks Drrich for your kind comments....

Maria Munn, wonderful comments, you made me blush...lol. Thanks for the attachment, I understand a little more now, brilliant, thank you.
