here are some of mine while scuba diving and free diving.  I'm still getting use to taking pictures underwater.

Nice HDRI, soccplayer07. If you want to tighten up the noise from the micro contrast, give Noise Ninja a try, in conjunction with a surface mask. For masking, I start with the TLR scripts, and go from there.

Here's a moving water image, from a HDRI created and tone mapped with Photomatx from 7 or so brackets, cleaned up with the tools described:

Here is another.  Sorry mine arent as good as JF's LOL

Francho, thanks for the tips. it was my first time using HDR. I only used 3 shots bracketed. didn't play around with it too much. You're shot looks great.

Thanks man. Pretty good fora first timer, usually people go way overboard. Best to get it right in the camera! Despite my editing skills, I actually HATE fixing pictures in Photoshop.

I wouldn't say I did any pioneering, but I was on the HDRI thing back when CS2 first had the feature, then got into Photomatix, and few others. I didn't do it for that shot, obviously, but if you can shoot tethered to a laptop, using Canon Remote Camera, you can drop like 11 or more shots, 1/3 stop apart with perfect registration. That is how I did this one:

The monitor doesn't do it justice, you'd have to see it printed big on metallic fine art paper to really see the detail in the shadows. Plus, I'm a terrible "for the web" image editor, LOL.

(Marty, Paul, and a few others will know this place, and would have to know I about 30 yards out on the ice ledge on the shoreline, with $1000s in camera gear, my laptop, and a buddy.  We could feel the waves move the ice!)

Been busy as a Bee

great shots guys. keep them coming.
