adjust your white balance

[SuacideKang]

@TiWi9991 Gimme a break, it was my first underwater dive, with a new camera. manual white balance should have been the setting. The photos I took with the same camera turned out better in my opinion.

[TiWi9991]

@SuacideKang meant to reply @Apex. Using custom wb settings is the only way to go imo

[SuacideKang]

@TiWi9991 Oh...it's all good then!

wow Boracay!!

[ApexIXMR]

I know this might seem like an idiotic question but is there anyway to get rid of the blue underwater tint? Any type of filter/program? If is that what your normally going to see without a external light?

I'm guessing it is a white balance issue.

[SuacideKang]

@ApexIXMR There's an underwater setting in this camera btw. I think the setting was on. I didn't have an external light. I'm going HD on my next dive, and I'm using this camera and underwater housing as a back up. If I can afford another light for this rig, I'll let you know the results.

@SuacideKang if you have strobes and are close enough to the subject yes

[SuacideKang]

@bigbassballin I'm working on it. Need to save up some more money. This is an expensive side hobby I barely have time to do. I need to invest more time and money yo! 2 fhings I don't have at the moment.

[Q8Police777]

Whats the maximum depth that you can reach?

[SuacideKang]

@Q8Police777 I've only gone as deep at 60 ft. The box says that this housing can go up to depths of 130 ft max.

[Q8Police777]

@SuacideKang The housing. But is the camera waterproof aswell?

[SuacideKang]

@Q8Police777 The Canon G11 is not waterproof itself. IMO, I think it's a pretty sturdy camera though. A few drops of rain or water on the the camera won't destroy it. I feel that the underwater housing is very well constructed. It's japanese and I've taken it on 6 dives with no problems whatsoever.

[BNoortje]

really bad diving..... :S

[SuacideKang]

@BNoortje This video is better than anything you've ever done creatively in your life!

[SuacideKang]

ok, after some web research, I found out those black fern things are called Crinoids, also known as sea lilies or feather-stars, are marine animals that make up the class Crinoidea of the echinoderms (phylum Echinodermata)

[donnypauling]

Thanks! I've been looking into this housing and this video is exactly what I wanted to see. Do you have a flickr account somewhere with photos taken underwater with this camera/housing?

[SuacideKang]

@donnypauling Yes I do. PM your email address and I'll send you my flickr account. I can't copy and paste links for some reason,

[at1stpromise]

This video is completely edited over.

[SuacideKang]

@at1stpromise

Yes of course it's edited over. It was 4 dives total, the tide conditions were much different for the 2 days of diving. Hence the difference in water color. But the canon G11 WP-DC34 was used for all of the footage that you see here.

[rdsmechanical]

did u need weights or a strap at that depth? and where in asia is this?

[SuacideKang]

@rdsmechanical

Yes, I think I had about 10 lbs on, but they were in kilos, so I'm not 100% of the weights. I had 3.5mm suit cause the water was very warm. Philippines, Borcay

[shimy1221]

Are you sure you are using a Canon Powershot G11? Because the wp-dc17 is not for that camera

[SuacideKang]

@shimy1221

Opps, you're right, changing to WP-DC 34

[shimy1221]

Oh ok thanks !

[shimy1221]

Are you using extra lighting with the camera or just the camera and housing?

[SuacideKang]

@shimy1221

No extra lighting, just the sun above us. We dove 20 meters / 60 feet max depth.
