gerald, when you say collect from a location... it doesn't mean you physically went there to gather those plants right?

[gchoo]

trick question... Well someone must have gone there and gotton those plants from there right?

gchoo,

many will be envious, so envious..

and I will be the first.

Great pictures. Might want to consider adjusting the white balance on your cam. The pictures looks a bit greenish from your aquarium lighting.

Cheers,

[hwchoy]

gerald, what cam do you use. if you shoot in RAW format, the white balance and exposure compensation can be adjusted later in software.

Hey,

I'm looking at you, Choy, Simon, Chris and others for pointers to take better pictures...

I'm using C5060 and the WB can be compensated... just too lazy to do the tweaking or any editing of the pics...I take note of it...

[hwchoy]

I'm not sure if the Olympus shoots in RAW mode or not, any Oly users here can confirm?

I shoot all in RAW and keep the files. The Canon RAW file can be processed by Photoshop and hence even if your WB and exposure was not so great during the shoot, you have a second chance during post processing. I now keep my RAW files, although they're kind of big (about 3-4 MB) but you can always keep only the good ones, and burn them on CD).

Basically RAW files are like your film negative, you get a second chance during developing of the positives to change the settings.

woah!

That's the top of the line prosumer digital camera from Olympus (not considering E-1).

I think you can do wonders if you play with it a little.

Do show us more pictures.

Cheers,

i think goondo has the same camera as you...

you want advise, have to seek benny :P he knows all about taking aquatic pictures...

for me, I usually take a few large(fine) jpeg followed by a raw. then i pick the better one and trash the rest
