Key Largo Photos with SP-350

[tsreimer]

Hey Guys,

Not my best work this last outing to Key Largo, but it's always nice to share the examples of the output of our cameras.

Underwater pics were taken with an Olympus SP-350, Ikelite housing, and a DS-125 strobe. Some of the above water shots were taken with a Canon 5D.

Some very nice photos. I was in Largo in early march. I think I have photos of that same sting ray and gouper.

Photo on the 'Grove with the flag flying is classic. I have a similar photo.

I'm using a Oly C750 with the PT018 housing. Your photos are so much more crisp than mine. Mine photos seem washed out. Maybe I need a slave-external strobe.

What settings are you using, Doug B? My starting photos were the same (currently just own a Canon A520, but been lusting after something better) and finally figured out it was more letting the camera pick aperture/speed while at a higher ISO...the only thing I was managing was white balance (and poorly, at that ). If you force ISO lower and use aperture priority mode, set your own aperture (as high a # as you reasonably can, with the resulting exposure time) it seems to do better. All stuff learned here, by the way - there's some good how-to posts, especially from alcina!

I'm looking forward to some additional lighting improvement with an external, but was surprised at the improvement I got already without it...

Having just started with my SP-350 I am so jealous of the clear blue warm water in your pic's I could die..... Very nice
