Monica, I guess we can do that when I am in Tulamben in August or September.
Komodo I’m trying to do wide angle.. of course torn between macro and wide. See..how it goes…for each sites..
Will be going in June.. On Grand Komodo. Anyone knows which are the better dive guides and boat captain I should request for? Which dive sites is a must go?
All Grand Komodo guides are expert for Komodo area. However, if you would like macro then you should specifically ask Mrs. Reno, she will appoint one of his best macro guides for you. As for the captain, all are good and knowledgeable about Komodo.
Good pose, but why is it that every picture using canon camera looked yellowish. That applies to Erwin’s and Monica’s photos too. For me it’s a bit distracting. Can anyone expalin it? is it because of the white balance or…..
I don’t know about this photo, but for my photos, after I had my Inon D2000, I normally use Auto WB or take a white slate and shoot it with my Inon. In general, not much different in photos produced with both methods, that’s why lately I tend to use Auto WB as it is less hassled. In my opinion, I think it is the camera characteristic, as my observation if we compare Canon and Nikon, normally Canon produce warmer color hence it is yellowish (good for skin tone if we take model portraiture on land).
Another possibility, I assume you (Tom) looking at some pictures with dark background, which metering in the camera tend to overexpose the dark background to balance the exposure and since this Canon tend to produce warm color, it adds yellowish tonal to the dark background such as sandy bottom in Tulamben. But that’s only my 2 cents.

Any other opinion on this?

One more possibility, it may be my fault when I decided not to use custom WB, not Canon’s fault

Erwin, I tend to agree with Canon producing warmer colors. Just like Olympus produces stronger Reds, Canon sensors produces warmer colors.
