Thanks Cecil nice pictures. Are you using a filter?

No filters, I use the shoot and pray white balance method.

Wow! Another batch of great pics! More, please!

With our group of six, we sat @ the same table. I have a pic of hungry people with the mix grill!

Cecil, you once posted instructions on steps of how to edit the color on uw pictures using photo shop. I can't find the posting now :-( Can you? ... may be post a link to them.. or email them to me? I have been trying but I just don't get the correction I want. I no longer have my old software I use to use for doing this and can't seem to get a handle around photo shop, yet.

Denise

Denise this is a tip, I wrote quite a while ago. The pictures are lost but the steps remain the same.

nice photo's once again Mr. Cecil

Cecil, I rarely as in hardly ever touch the colour now.

Brian, I don't adjust the color as much as my old camera. The new one seems to get a lot closer but still shows some green if it sees rubble. I still increase the color saturation on pretty much all pictures. Digital is still dull.

Cecil...Love the under/over shot at Andrea!

Cecil

I often find that correcting the contrast and brightness will lift the colour.

I guess I escape much of the need as the strobe helps to show the colour. We saw loads of Octopus last trip inc. three one dive.

Brian if you change the contrast you are touching the color my friend.

Brian YGM

Thanks Timmmy, it is more the overall shift towards red that concerns me. YGM too

Anyone know what kind of coral that is in the picture with the moray?

Ed, I think the first was Star coral and the second was Brain coral.

Thanks for posting ALL those great pics Cecil!

Love the pictures Cecil! Especially the wounded warriors. Great job, as usual.

Thanks Cecil. Norma emailed me some pics from the WW dinner and I need to post them. I hope they recovered from the fire coral...ouch...if you have any experinces to share, please do so. I'm sure everyone would love to hear about them.

Gosh, such beautiful pictures Cecil. Thank you for posting them.
Sarah

Hey again Cecil,

Very nice slideshow from these pictures. One moe question about location. Where'd you find the nurse shark? I've never seen one in Bonaire.

Thanks,
Steve

Thanks. The east side, they are over there but still rare. We were lucky and there was a wind reversal and it was relatively calm and divable.
