Hello all, I've just returned from St Lucia where I took my first steps into the world of underwater photography. Obviously I have little idea about what I am doing at this stage but I've created a simple blog where I have posted some of the photos and videos I took and I would appreciate some feedback and suggestions on what to work on but keep in mind that I am very much a beginner and am finding it difficult do to the most basic things The address is website I am using a Sea&Sea DX-GE5 with the flash Sea&Sea YS-Q2 and so far I have done no editing of the photos other than changing the size. /Marcus reply to this message \| report abuse \| email to a friend	Marcus Wendel 19 point member

Based on suggestions I received I have tried to correct the white balance and even with the auto setting in Photoshop Elements it is a big improvement over the originals. /Marcus reply to this message	Marcus Wendel 19 point member

Hi, If that was me and my first time i would be very happy with the photos you have taken, yes it is a very confusing world using your camera underwater, but has i have found practice and practice more, yes you will get dives where you don't get the shots you want, but just get back in and try again reply to this message	Tony Mccann 89 point member

Thanks, I am sure you are right that things will get better with practice /Marcus reply to this message	Marcus Wendel 19 point member
