Digital Camera Above Water Pics
Wall Diving in Fantasy Island Resort, Roatan
3. Pics of Fantasy Island Resort
Underwater Pics.
The
pictures
taken and prints presented here are of
very poor quality
. I
rented an underwater camera and
was talked into using a wide angle lens. The strobe would not give enough
light at the angle of the lens width to give good results.
E.G. at say 5 ft distance
away from the subject, the lens had a width of 10 ft. The strobe would only
light up 5 ft of width. The picture centers were over exposed, the next outer
ring was Ok, the outside was underexposed.
Also, I had the local drug store scan the negatives to get the jpg digital images presented here. This turned out to be of a lower quality than if I had scanned the prints myself. Unfortunately, there was not enough time for me to scan the prints. I may try to re-scan some as time permits.
Many of the prints are of ranges farther than 10 ft. At the depths we were at [ 50 - 70 ft], you get the typical color loss and everything is BLUE! So, it was very difficult to try to shoot a picture of the wall going down 50 ft to a ledge and then another 100 ft or more to some sand. There just was not enough light.
