Pictures taken with underwater camera

[whatcaneyedo]

I wanted to share a few of these pictures that I took the other night of my reef tank. I took them with my Canon PowerShot A570 IS in a water proof housing I bought for scuba diving. This was the first time I have tried out the housing, its the Canon WP-DC12. All of the pictures were taken with the cameras Underwater mode and none have been photoshopped.

Its quite a pain isnt it? I've taken over 1000 tank shots and I think I only like 5 of them.

The clams look GREAT. I love the colors in them. Everything else looks a hint too yellow for my eye though.

the clams definitely look Great. as do alot of the shots.

is there a way to set the white balance on the camera? some of the pictures just seem a little warm maybe, as well as slightly overexposed.

definitly great shots though it is always neat to be able to take them in the water it looks so more "natural"

There probably is a way to change the white and blue balance with the camera... but I'd have to break the most sacred of man codes and open the users manual. I'll try it some time and see what I can do because like as Phyl also pointed out it does look a little too yellow.
