Underwater P&S

[kgosden]

With the sudden increase in under water capable cameras from Fuji, Panasonic, Canon and others I figured it was time for a sample thread. These three are from my Olympus 1030SW. All in about 3-6 feet of water near kona. Just a little cropping and sharpening.

A few more of the same

These have been post processed a bit to improve the color.

Here are a couple taken above the water to show what the camera can do. My experience is that these cameras are not generally as good as the better P&S cameras, but they can produce good results. It did seem that I only get about 1 in 3 at this quality. I used Microsoft's Windows resize function on the last 3 of these and it really compresses the file. The colors still seem okay, but the image definitely got softer than the top one which I did in PS3.
