Incredible!
Thank you so much for sharing your trip.
Truly spectacular pictures.

bluespotjawfish · 10-04-2007, 09:21 AM

Great pictures! Are any of these from a night dive? Where is this at in the Red Sea? How difficult was the diving?

I have the same camera and absolutely love it. But I must admit your pics are nicer than mine. Do you have the wide angle lens for it? I really like that lens too. I think the 8000 series replaces the 5000 series.

It is very tough to keep the colors in the corals if you are taking a picture from any distance, especially on a overcast day. You can add a second strobe light and increase that a bit, but I usually stick with the closer shots unless I have a lot of natural light.

I think the corals aren't very colorful because they're in relatively deep water, if I'm not mistaken between 10-30 meters. If they were in shallower water I think the corals would be much more colorful, but this is just my guess.

bluespotjawfish · 10-04-2007, 04:45 PM

At 30 meters you are right, but there is a ton of color at 10 and even 20 meters.

dkissane · 10-23-2007, 12:47 PM

Awesome pictures! What a great trip you must have had!!

Snappy · 11-05-2007, 01:07 AM
