Wow I think the link may have actually worked. I have the dc500. I hope I have worked out my strobe problems.
 
Was reading throug this thread and thought I would post some pics from last fall.

Using my new DC600 and a digital Flash taken in Bahamas on my last Blackbeards trip.

Lake Pleasant, Arizona

My dive buddy Dave found a pair sun glasses.

The green glow adds to the strange feeling when your on dives here.

More pictures of the haunted woods (25+/- feet below the surface)

Meeting the locals, we saw a couple of good sized fish. This guy was about 15" +/-
Mostly it was little guys only about 2-3 inches in length.

The lighting effect and the rocks... It looks cool, sort of like a green Mars.

Things fade out so quickly here, its a green fog and your floating like a ghost in it.

I didn't take a lot of pictures, the vis was pretty low. It might have been 10-15 in the good places, less then 3 feet in most. You had less then a foot once you hit the thermal layer at 30 feet. We hit one or two patches of shallow water that were in the 90s, it was pretty clear vis in the small pocket of hot water.

All of these shots were taken with available ambient light only...

Awesome pics. There is hope for me yet. I purchased the DC600 in March and used it in the Caymans but no pics with the clarity you have here. Did you use dual strobes?
 
Thanks for the tips!! I tried it again this past weekend without the flash and had better luck. Here are a few pictures. (I have to turn off the date feature)

I have some picks but I do not know how to post them on here. Any help? I have them on my puter in a file.. I never done this yet. I got a new camara and wanted to share pick..

There are a few ways of doing this... I prefer using a picture hosting site like Flickr and upload your pictures there. After that's done you can copy the url of the picture from the site you used and paste it in a post here in SB using the handy dandy "insert image" icon. (The yellow icon with the two mountains and sun)

You can also use the SB picture gallery to do the same, but my success using the SB gallery has been spotty! YMMV.

Good luck
 
Single strobe.

They have had the red added back in in Photoshop though. The methond I use (after try a few different ones) is fairly lengthy but can be set up as a macro...it works really well.

I usually run macro on a batch of files then decide which ones need the red and which ones don 't...it saves time in the long run since most need alot of red to be added back.
