Handy little PS action for correcting UW photos.

[bp_968]

I bought a Pentax Optio WP for a vacation trip to Maui a couple of weeks back (so I could use something underwater). The flash on this unit sucks so most photos were VERY blue. This handy action will fix most any flashless UW shot and bring out alot of the real colors.

You can also see some photos from my trip (most of them taken with my 2 Nikon D70s, and about a zillon pounds of lenses) here: http://pottingerphoto.smugmug.com

The pentax did the job but has a depth limit of 5-10 feet so its worthless for scuba (I plan to get certified this year) so I sold it. After using the D70 for so long now I can't stand the noise performance of P&S digitals

Very nice pictures. I like the one of the foot print. I have a nice shot of a paw print on a lonely beach in Maui. Nice work.

Cool double rainbow shot!

Also, there's a few other "automatic" actions you might try (right here on Scubaboard):
