your compositions are really not bad at all
just some is over crop, good composition nevertheless!!!

oh yeah i like the timing for that dive.

now a few things about your shots

1. try to crop using proper ratios. 6x4 or 4x6, or for me i go by 4x3 or 3x4 ratio.

2. try to the horizon go as close to a horizontal line as possible. pictures #3 and #4 need that.

thanx aichiban and goldfries...i was using Dicapac and got blod during my shot...so i juz crop the blod as much as possible... ...
aiks...big mistake...i sud bring a small cloth during snorkeling...blod spoilt many pics ady...
thousand thanks on ur tips...

Hard to take picture using dicapac...
Problem:
1- Always shot the frame of the waterproof casing
2- Cant view the LCD (glance)
3- Cant view the viewfinder (u will c the dicapac lens head)

walauweh...ur underwater pics make me remember my last trip to Tioman...

most of the pics not sharp but i think you are the only photog here has this kind of pics in LYN...congrates!

the blue tones are so breath taking... great job bro!

thanx...i found hard to snap underwater...i was switch off the flash initially becoz i think tat might scared the fish...but after review in resort...too blur...so i switch on the flash for entire photo...when going deeper...the photo will become more blur...
nid some tips for capturing underwater pics...

thanx...

Nice underwater pics there.....btw where is this old cinema? U turn the sky dark....creative ha...

interesting processing on number 2 of the wasteland, but why is there a band of magenta on top?

For your underwater pictures you have too much space between you and your subject and thats bad. When using flash underwater more water between you and your subject cause backscatter like picture no. 14. In redang try to take macro shots on the nudibranches(slug things) and practice to shoot on the fishes eye(nemo best) .


Also as your go deeper in the sea you lose alot of red in the pictures so when your PP add red than the picture would look much more better..thats a reason why the blue is so strong

Btw, you going in July for the photo shoot out n seminar?

I took the attached photo in redang using resort camera .(click for clearer view)

Check out the following website, it has some great under water shots. And he's only using A40 and now A95.

For you redang trip, I like the action you captured in the first pic. However, the blue colour in pic 1 & 2 are too overwhelming. Even the boat also turns blue colour. Just doesn't look right.

Pic 3 appeals to me coz you caught the person diving at the right time. Nice!

This is the first time I come across underwater pics in LYN. Although the pictures are blur, but it's something different and really got my attention.

I like your 2nd and 3rd pic of the old cinema... When I saw the 3rd pic I felt a tinge of sadness. It's so contrasting as it says "today" when you know, it's already in the past. You did bring out the mood of how the era of big cinemas is long gone. And that we can only look back and reminisce the times we used to frequent these places. I'm sure you know how I feel if you've been to these cinemas before.
