now those are not bad at all the point of this thread is to see how good of a photgrapher you are. not how good of an editer some people are..
Some people ad too much saturation and color (you can tell by glowing frag plugs) .You did good. l

Thank you!! I am actually really unhappy with the Sony...the Canon was so much better....

Amazing pics so far, do I get bonus points for my pics being taken with a Sony handycam? :neutral: great thread, big thanks to all who have posted so far, and hopefully some more to come!

I have the same Sony camera and am not happy with it at all i have tried all the settings and the under water setting is the best but does add more Blue to the picture and i can not get a clear picture when trying to do Micro or up close pictures with this camera.

The best setting I found (I run 14K Phoenix on Icecaps) was the P mode. For WB, either the first option (auto) or the thrid option (clouds?) worked best for me. But even then, I had to process the pics by removing blue, some green, and slightly increasing red. Annoying! I actually just sent in my Canon to be repaired!!! For $75 I thought it was worth it, even if it is an older model.

I will have to try those settings and see what happens and i might by the under water case for it and see what happens then and are you using the sony program to clean up the pictures that came with the camera.

I think they come with 3 different types of underwater housings. A really cheap one, a kind of cheap one, and an expensive one. I bought the middle one. It's this weird 2 piece system... nothing like the Canon one.

Yeah, I just use the tone curve adjustments on the Sony software. Not great, but sufficient. I don't own PS

bkss709 · Oct 28, 2010

Is it worth the money to buy a underwater housing for the sony do you think and ere a few Pic's with the setting you said to try .

Best Full tank shot ever

Forgot to mention...turn off your flash

The underwater housing I got is a lot cheaper than the kind for the Canon. So, yeah, I personally think $50 is worth it, if you plan to keep the camera.

I did resize and watermark, but no cropping of any sort or any editing.

some more fresh ones hot out of the camera

Here ya go, SDguy. This is the first Canon camera that I've owned that requires very little post-processing. It even has a balance setting just for aquarium use. These pictures were all taken in a row, no editing, no re-takes (except for the War coral that was off center), auto ISO in fish mode. Not tripod with my arm in the water. Canon D-10. Crazy easy to use. :wink:
