Red Sea Diving.... Round 2!

[ReefingBuddha]

I'm off in Sharm El Sheikh again this summer so its time to provide some more pictures.

I have a new setup this yet. A D700 in a proper housing so its the steep learning curve all over again. Hope my pictures improve over the next 11 days but any critique or advice would be very much appreciated.

Day 1
Straits of Tiran
Jackson Reef and Ras Ghamila

Not sure which one of those I like better

Day 2
Ras Mohammad National Park
Shark Reef and Yolanda Reef

Biggest damn puffer I've ever seed. Its eye was easily the size of a golf ball.

somewhere along the line of converting from RAW to jpeg and then uploading there seems to be a serious loss of color saturation and contrast. Anyone have a clue how to fix that?

Anyways, just a few more from yesterday. Night dive is schedule for tonight.

Your wish has been granted.

Just got back from a night Dive and I'm heading out to Thistlegorm (I think that's spelled right) at 6AM tomorrow so I should have some nice wreck dive shots tomorrow.

BTW there's a crab in the last shot if you look closely. I didn't even notice it until I reviewed the pictures later. Lucky score!

Excellent photography Thomas. That little crab sure has some good camo.

Im enjoying your usage of shallow depth of field.

Thank you for sharing your diving experiences with us!
