Kona Trip Photos with Canon G16

[kevin 2]

Just got back from Kona with my Canon G16. I know I got some good shots for this being my first time using an real underwater rig. (other than using a gopro previously) I wanted to know if the professionals in the crowd would be willing to give me some quick constructive criticism on anything and everything. (Always looking to improve) See the link below. All meta data and camera info should be available within the google plus interface for each photo. Thanks in advance!

Kevin, you got some *great* images out of that rig. Congratulations! The sunbursts are impressive. Hard to pick favorites but I really like the pair of dolphins and the reflected turtle. Also the lighting on the first crown of thorns closeup is nicely done.

 

The dolphin photos look a little soft. I might have bumped the ISO up to allow a smaller aperture and greater depth of field, to give a little more leeway on focus.

Thanks for your help. You're right - the dolphins are a bit soft. I was in Tv mode and was afraid to bump the ISO above 200. Point and shoots get really grainy really fast with higher ISos.... wish i could afford a slr enclosure...

Hey Kevin, great shots--especially when using a system for the first time! I'd love to talk to you more about your images and working on an article together. Can you send me a private message? Thanks!
