Howdy. The boats are running mostly out of the LA harbor area, out of San Pedro and Long Beach, so It would be good to stay around there. They both have seedy areas and nice areas. Seedy will be cheaper. I'd feel better about locating a decent cheap motel in Long Beach, in San Pedro you really...

Hello Matteus. One thing to keep in mind about Dive Boat trips after Christmas: January is the month that traditionally sees most, it not all, dive boats "haul out" for nearly an entire month of Boat Maintenance. It is very possible that there will not be any dive boats making any trips to...

... not as biologist. As a Pipe Fitter. If you ever dive there and pass that old yellow shelter with the big pipes, say hello to his handi-work! (me and my sister went there any weekend we could get dad to take us, for free of course)

true story Codyjp, Seeing if anyone is out there. quiet forum for so cal it seems. this board is kinda big.

The last ones I printed were on an HP-5000 on semi-gloss through the Caldera RIP. My 9 mega pixel was printing 34.5" x 26" @ 100dpi. That was really nice, uh... 'till I got laid off... (still I have some hanging in the living room) :eyebrow:

Hello JRO, I'm somewhat new to this board. I think a great deal of this question also depends on how many photos you take per session and per year. I'll get maybe 30 to 70 shots per session, and am lucky to get 6 dive trips in a year, so I don't feel the need for a dedicated light table/loupe...

While walking to the pier about two years ago I saw two guys get pummeled in high wind/high surf conditions. I walked down to the baech to see if they were alright and one had lost a black jetfin. Mabe it was his? :popcorn: Anyway. How was the diving?

Hello shara, I'm with Zero vis and others and will say that a good day of Diving will always zonk me out physically. But so will a good day of surfing, swimming, hiking, bike riding, skateboarding etc, that's what exercising is all about. As far as what others are saying about nitrox, I...

Cool, I'm glad you checked back in, one never knows if old threads get revisited. I only mentioned it because failing to save a file is a the "classic" scratch disk symptom. Too bad you had to switch out motherboards. Do you mean that your mother board actually failed, or did you switch it for...

Thanks. It was a little hard to find at first, but now that I've found it I'll be checking in.

Mariozi, thanks so much for your post. After finally getting a better camera I thought that WB adjusting would be great benefit. I was dismayed that with underwater photos it did not help at all, and went right back to doing all my adjusting in Photoshop (albeit, with much more image info at...

cfelliot I really like your turtle photo. Here's a slightly different approach to how you might work this image. 3 steps. Levels; adjust overall color balance of entire image, represented by turtle on left. Curves; added slight contrast curve, not shown below, but you can see an...

Yes, that's more towards where I'm going with this. On dry land you will capture more information shooting an optimized histogram and have excellent results. But when underwater, especially without a strobe, I approach image capture from a Drum Scanning point of view rather than a...

Where I'm coming from is, I want to capture as high as possible and as straight and even all the way across, that way I can clip the ends and/or pump the mids to create my own peak for the final. The more info you have to work with the better off you are. But I guess I just assume that people...

Okay. I'm taking that as a positive.

The histogram can give you clues as to your exposure. If all the info is crammed to the right with the left side being blank, then you are over exposed. Flip this scenario around and you are underexposed. The best possible histogram is actually a thick, high, even spread, reading solid all the...

I realize this is an old thread. If you're still out there having trouble... Photoshop often fails to save files when it does not have appropriate scratch disk allocation. Most Photoshop Heavyweights still use a dedicated scratch disk, with nothing on it, reserved solely for photoshop...

Hello all. I am new to this forum, but not so new to diving. I haven't been diving much lately so I thought I'd join a forum to get my mind back on track about diving more often and see how inspired I can get. Looking forward to it.

Hello chrisculina. I am new to this board, so new I haven't even posted in the greets section, that's my next stop, but I wanted to add something before it slipped my mind. Don't forget to also book your reservations for the Catalina Express boat. It would be terrible to book a room, get to...
