This chick took her pictures with the underwater setting.

AWESOME looks like someone else needed some help at one time. Did everyone tell you to learn yourself? Huh huh did they dick?

05x is just the photog forum troll...


lmao @ all the posts rippin on 05x, good stuff

edit for clarification

what did i do?


w8 is this about me?

xb - I don't remember what settings we used then it might have been underwater or it might have been manual, but if you have the ability to look at the properties and see what settings were used on the photos below that might be helpful. Also, be sure to make sure you have the settings on what you want them before you put the camera in the housing. We didn't think about it one day and had been using the camera to shoot low level lighting pictures so the iso was really high doesn't work very well underwater. Oh and as far as aiming it goes good luck even live view wasn't very helpful so it was a just point and shoot with just an oh this should work thing.

thank you!

She's a sweety.

too much scuba diving on the honeymoon and you're doing it wrong.

scoooba?

Usually they just play Scrabble.

The snorkeling was when we were taking a break from the scrabble.

Xb your welcome sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

Lani-

I didn't learn anything about photography or reef keeping through that entire thread but it sure was fun!

I think we should have a

"I understand you have come here for help, but I intend on trying to make you feel like an idiot simply so I can feel temporarily superior to another human being" forum

anybody in it will be a great place to learn nothing but be entertained?

go post that exact request in the lounge, please. it's important that you do so.

You were helpful enough.

Sorry I said your hubby had a sandy vagina. Some people informed me that he wouldn't be responding to this thread b/c he isn't around anymore for various reasons. The sandy vagina was my description, not that of my informants.


that's a terrible idea. no one would spend any of their time posting in a forum like that.

you should feel bad for having even considered such a stupid thing.

That's a great start!

Eh its ok... I just choose to ignore that everyone has an opinion even if they aren't always right.

Ok I remember he had programed the appature priority, shutter speed priority, and customize your manual setting so that way you can easily switch between them and underwater setting. Play with the iso to get a better picture quality. The housing for the G9 doesn't allow you to adjust these, although this could be different with the g10. If you can adjust it with the G10 go more negative with the exposure value and higher with the iso to adjust picture quality.


Oh and richie scrabble on the beach after snorkling is nice as well. although things get a little sandy

Amber!

Hence the sandy.....

Nothing like a good game of Scrabble.


See? We did learn something here after all didn't we.

what it was a private beach

Aww 05XRunner left

If he was still being a douche I was gonna tell him to take his penis out of the can of fireworms and either say something helpful or stfu..but alas the chance is gone *sigh*

OP one thing to take into consideration woul be deph and amount of light, surge(just a PITA when trying to take pictures), and visibility. I'm not familiar w/ your camera but the more particulate matter in the water may influence what setting you use

Please just STFU...I have helped people in this photography area countless times and answered countless PM's from members on questions. So please go try and be cute somewhere else. Personally I think xwolf is a complete jackass and is one of the few people on this site I would not help at all. Its funny how mr jerami would basically agree with me on saying learn how to use the camera for your shooting and such and no situation that works for one probably wont work for another. But since it seems it was mr high post count from the lounge who acts like an ass he pretty much seems like he punked off and tried to take his side. I will leave it up to the people who seem to think they know it all in this area and dont need any help to answer questions.

Weak

I am not trying to impress anyone on this site..unlike what seems to be most of the others here do.
its annoying the bickering that goes on here.

baaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

pwoor babby got a taste of just how many people don't like him.

what i find particularly funny about all of this is the fact that you hate me b/c i posted "nikon sucks" about a dozen times. you're so sensitive, it's kinda cute.

what...I personally can careless about that..Your just annoying as hell on everything you post.
I can careless if anyone likes me on this forum...

exactly how much less can you care?

yeah, I totally agree that people should just get out and shoot, it's the best way to learn. unfortunately, wolf has no access to an ocean in ohio, therefore his request for a starting point is valid. I wouldn't want to spend the better part of my honeymoon fiddling with camera settings, either.

while I would normally agree with you, in this instance your advice is unfounded. deal with it.

here's a neat link:

hmm...sex on a beach....

The only people that THINK sex on the beach is fun have never done it. Sand + sex=honeymoon over

i was thinking about ordering a girlie cocktail, actually

You may have helped a lot of others which is a really great thing to do, but in this thread you're doing nothing but being a pita and only trying to attagonate others, therefore my "cute" reference was to you being a douche. OP has a viable reason for asking for help as others have stated. He could go to a lake or a corry to get a better feel for his new gear, but thats not going to help him out in the ocean. If you really don't like him or are just gonna continue getting you panties in a bunch, then just leave this thread be, and go on your merry way to another thread where you are willing to help others. Since my immature reference didn't get the point across I hope that you will actually take this serious reasonable response into consideration.

phh...sex on the beach can be great as long as you avoid the sand. Hotel sheets and lifegaurd stands def. help out in this aspect.

O HAI GUYZ...WHATS GOIN ON IN HERE?????????????

lol hi

Speak of the devil....

Gotta do this.........

A said something about scrabble on the beach and a fight in a thread directed at me. Some things you can't stay away from...



So I've found that shooting underwater with this thing is a pain because you can't access the dial that changes settings. I end up going with more of a shotgun approach. It's annoying at the beginning of the trip, because you'll spend 5 minutes adjusting settings, but after that first trip out, you'll have the settings you want to use.

Set Tv to 1/100
Set Av to f/5.6

I also...
Set Manual to whatever the camera settings are in automatic when you take a photo of the water from the beach, and then go a couple of stops slower on the shutter speed or lower on the f-stop for snorkeling, more if you're going down more than a few feet.
Set the custom settings - one a bit slower, one a bit faster than whatever you set on Manual.
...but these you can *probably* be okay without.

Then...
Take some shots once you get out in the water with EV between 0 and -1, ISO 200. Once you find a good setting, stick to that and adjust EV and ISO to control the photo.

I've found that the underwater setting on the G9 isn't so great, not sure on the G10. Automatic is horrible - extremely high ISO.


It's a bit of a pain to set up - a few minutes of button fiddling, but it'll get you there. After the first time using it, you should have gotten a close enough setting that you won't need to mess with it anymore. Then you just stick to that setting, and adjust EV and/or ISO to adjust for depth/clouds/etc. Oh, and definitely want to use RAW or make sure you white balance. RAW is best here because you can underexpose the pictures a bit to increase shutter speeds without losing a lot of quality.

Good luck - it'll take some practice before you get nice shots from it, but you'll get it.

Thanks!

hi

That was easy.

Daniel! Hi!

btw, you can never leave again, because I'm sending you my coldwater tank in nine months when I go to college.

that'll keep me around

well, i guess there are a few other select people who are also going to be getting some stuff, but those are just details.

speaking of which, you need to update your cw tank thread. now.
