I wanted to share some underwater pics

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Mods - feel free to move to film forum if you want. I cant seem to post there at the moment?

So i am into underwater photography in a pretty big way. Im looking forward to the day i can afford a housing for the d70 to take it swimming with the dolphins.

Here are some pics i took in WA in February, using Fujichrome Velvia.

Critique/compliments/suggestions all are welcomed and appreciated. Enjoy

Thankyou - I am quite happy with these exposures. It is very easy to stuff up the lighting in UW photography, but this whole roll came out nice. The camera is a Nikonos V (five).

Nice work!
What strobe are you using??
I have Ikelite housings for my D70 & F80. The D70 is really hard to balance the lighting as well as you have. Often wish for TTL.

From memory is was a Sea and sea YS60TTL-N. Not my camera unfortunately. Borrowed it off a friend.

I hear that WB and over exposure is a pain with underwater digital photography. I bet Raw format helps in this regard. I look forward to being able to take 100 shots per dive rather than the 35 or so i get out of a roll of film.
