Grand Cayman, Oct 2003

 

These photos were taken with the Olympus C-5050Z in the Olympus PT-015 Diving Case.  A 256 MB xD memory (primary) and 1GB microdrive (backup) are both installed.  Pictures are downloaded from the xD to microdrive between dives, or during dives if necessary, and reduces the number of dive housing reloads.

Settings:  SHQ 2560x1920, Aperture Priority, mostly f/4, some f/5.6, a few pictures were taken in Auto.  Other settings include internal flash and spot meter; white balance was set to manual to insert varying amounts of red. 

All pictures post processed in Photoshop using both manual and auto level.  Pictures are reduced in size and quality from the originals.

In 8 days and 24 dives, over 550 photos were taken.

Using the current Internet Explorer, the photos should automatically resize for your screen.  Hovering/clicking in the bottom right corner of the photo will permit the photo to be opened to its natural size.  Many of the photos are still quite large and permit the detail of the picture to be seen.
