OK, I tried that but I didn't have the photo online anywhere. So do I take it that you've saved the photo online somewhere, and linked to it? I thought you'd just be able to put it up here without having to have it on another site first.
Thanks again.

Few recent ones from Killary....

joeKel73

A few from today in Carraroe...

Extremely low tide (low tide at highest spring tide of the year!). Amazing amount of light in areas which are normally a few meters deeper. Some of the colours seem fake but they're actually real!

joeKel73

The rest of them...

tedshredsonfire

nice ones joe the aul anenomes are always mad colours and often the only thing I can get a shot of in the winter but haven't been diving so far this year only surfing. Maybe the end of the month.

ronanmac

Those colours are fantastic, Joe! Great photos.

joeKel73

Thanks, yeah you wouldn't think they were natural!

ronanmac

Out of curiosity, when were they taken? Was diving at Dóilín coral beach just before Christmas and viz was cat. Looking crystal clear there, but that might be a tribute to your photography rather than viz?!

joeKel73

Hey, these were taken on 31st January on a very low low tide. Water was very clear alright!

Great shots,especially the prawn, where in waterford,

Nice 'pus, Niall. Where were you?

Can I suggest that you get someone to show you how to deal with the white balance on your camera? It might help you deal with the overall green/blue tinge in your shots.

Or, if you don't have a buddy who can show you, you could try the PADI Underwater Digital Photography Specialty, which helps. I did it last year. Next time I'm on my desktop rather than the laptop (not very often) I'll post a couple of before/after shots as an example.

Cool, i was in lanzarote, did the advanced open water course. thanks for that. it was my first time ever using an underwater camera so i was like a child with it! i have a cool album for a first time! i will post up a few more pics later on.

Great macro shots Joe piggyback hermits

tedshredsonfire

A few from this weekend. Not up to the standard of some of the others here but here ye go. All were taken freediving. I think the fishy is a cole fish but could be wrong. Took a while to get a shot of him. Crackin vis and great weekends diving now all we need is for the water to warm up a bit.

breadbin

jeez joe them hermit crabs are stunning. they done with your old canon you were talking about?

the others are great too, the one were someone is in the kelp looks crazy like they're stuck or something:)

No the hermit crab ones (and after) were taken with the Canon G10, my photos on page 4 were taken with the Canon Powershot A570is I was telling you about.

joeKel73

Firstly here's a video of the Thornback Ray in action, needed video to capture this properly! (http://vimeo.com/11931800)

Now a few photos;
(Going to embed the large versions this time, hope that's alright!)

fantastic set joe !!!

.... hopefully will try get over your side of the country in the next week or two.... if yer up for a snorkle photo session ...or if you can recommend some place where I can go scuba (will have to rent some gear).

joeKel73

Scubadive West is the only place I know near here for renting gear, that's in Killary though which isn't the best for photos. I don't think there's anywhere near Carraroe....

joeKel73

Also was in Spiddal on Wednesday, vis wasn't good though so much photos were poor, this is the only decent one really;

PCPhoto

looks so surreal !!!

Am tempted to get a G10 or G11 and housing - as a backup (for the girlfriend to take photos when we goto Hawaii this year).... do you have an external strobe too joe ? .... are you limited using the compact - from reading online - using compacts you tend to miss anything moving at any real pace.

have a 5D and underwater housing .... just need to get more experience underwater (diving and photographing)

plan for hawaii - swimming with sharks/turtles/general marine life over there and the plants etc. (expensive as hell - but opportunity to experience it....and share it with the GF)

joeKel73

No I don't have an external strobe, student budget says "no, enough already". You can put a slave strobe on any compact camera though.

I'd recommend a G11 over G10 and they tend to be cheaper as there's more around. G9 is generally recommended over G10 too... Canon didn't get much praise for packing the pixels into the G10. I got the underwater housing for it first for very cheap so that dictated my choice. Don't get me wrong it's a great setup but if buying from scratch I'd probably go G11.

I don't think you'd have any problem capturing moving fish with in Hawaii, I was able to get good exposure with 1/125s iso200 and you could probably manage faster in the waters over there.

You really sure you want to get into it? Not just quit and sell me your 5D with housing for cheap?

Great shots again Joe , is the thornback a native or visitor, Have the G9 and ikelite myself, hoping to get out tomorrow for a dive.
video is great too , what depth were you in? , good light.

joeKel73

Well I'd never met him before! We were only in 5 or 6 meters there, not much depth in Carraroe and it was low tide. Great for photos though!

great pics joe, i've been out off dalkey a few times over the past few weeks but mainly just seen lobster and crab.

Great images of the ray

joeKel73

Can anyone tell me what kind of jellyfish this is? It was about the size of a golf ball...

joeKel73

Also came across a small cuttlefish on our dive today;

wow thats an amazing photo!! how deep is that as a matter of interest?? never seen them tube things before what are they?

joeKel73

Thanks Breadbin - it's in about 15m.

The tubes are a form of tube worm - I googled for more info and found this. Looks like they're rare enough! Plenty of them in Killary though.. They look almost bush-like when you approach them, then all the tentacles get pulled in when you get close and disturb them.

A marine scientist could give you a more technically correct answer!

breadbin

aw class:) killary is such a nice spot and i'm sure its got tons of stuff to reveal! i went out the other day at old head but the visibility was brutal:( thought it might be ok seeing as it hadn't rained in a while and was icy cold but was the worst i ever saw. didn't see anythiing interesting here is one though of a lichen type thing attached to something shiny:)



but i really should start scuba diving to get to the real stuff;)
