    Made it back to Largo this past weekend on a dive drip with my son. The weather wasn't that good but heck, we were in the keys and spent the days under the water!!!

    Here are some pics since I know everyone here loves them...

    Sure! PM me and I can email the pic to you if you like.

    Thank you! That may be a possibility. I may be back next month.

    Thank you! I love shooting pics, trying to replicate what I see every dive got me into saltwater aquariums in the first place.

    Thank you! I wish I could take them all day!!!

    Actually, I use an Olympus digital in housing and a sealife strobe. We were only around 20' - 30' deep, and even with the overcast sky, the strobe gave too much light.
    You can use basic processing software to work on the histograms to balance the RGB. With underwater photos, you will need to back off the blues and some of the greens and add to the reds. Adobe Photoshop Lightroom allows for good tools for the photos, and really good filing system!

    nice. I just have a little Olympus tough camera with a housing. I've never used a strobe but that makes all the difference in the world i bet. At twenty feet though its pretty solid.
