Nov. 5 Bohol pics

Canon S90 in Canon housing.
All shot in RAW with Sea & Sea YS-27DX strobe. No add-on lenses.
WB adjusted and file converted to JPG in Canon DPP. Additional editing in PS.

My only complaint is I used a generic battery in the camera and it was almost dead after 32 photos, assuming the bat indicator is correct.

Could you post the before intermediate and after pictures for the last shot plus the process you go through in PS.
I am always very impressed with your wide angle shots when you do colour correction.

I love number 4

Sea moths are so weird looking. Nice shots, as usual.

Love the golden crinoid. They are always one of my favorite things to see.

Thanks for the compliment.

THIS is the process I used on the Crinoid photo. Keep in mind I am no photography expert and I'm surely no Photoshop expert. I use the free version of Helicon Filter for noise reduction on photos with blue water. I just prefer Helicon over PS for noise reduction.

Excellent production, I'm always amazed at your quality of the photos you produce.

Thanks, but maybe it's Photoshop and not me :shocked2:

No Ways
The Image has to be there before you start.
Thanks for the tips, for a novice like me it's great to have some steps to follow.

Struggling with strobe, shutter lag, Photoshop, etc. Too many things to worry about.
Oh yes and at 30 meters below sea level as well Ops not the photoshop bit.

Great fun I would love to do this full time but someone has to fund the hole in the water filled with a Mad Scotsman.

Very nice pictures with great sharpness and colors.

I agree about the battery situation. My only complaint about the S90 is the REALLY, REALLY poor battery life. I purchased the "Japanese" cell batteries (supposed better), and have all the "bells & whistles" turned off, but I can only get in 1 dive of about 30-40 pictures. Basically, a battery change after every dive--not good when diving in the Gulf of Mexico in an open boat.

Thanks for sharing the pics.
