exmouth pics taken with underwater camera

sorry about the bulk amount of pics guys but someone was asking about the cheap point and shoot underwater cameras so ive posted a few here to let them see .. all these pics where taken with a panasonic ft1 on my last holiday to exxy .. ive had to drop the size and quality a bit for here but you all get the idea . pity the water quality was bad on the day i went swimming .

Yep, that muddy pic is a cracker.  If you are resizing pics you shouldn't have to reduce the quality of the image.  You can see the grainyness starting to show on those pics as you've reduced the dpi quality - if you go only for resize you should be able to keep the pics quality and still reduce the file size enough so that its an easy load onto the site, or for email etc.

Some nice pics there from a small camera (watch those fingers!).  Muddy is a beauty and I like the cowrie shot.

The Muddy pic is a photo of the month contender for sure. An absolute cracka you should frame and send straight to the pool room.

reducing the size of photos will always degrade the picture quality :)

However its not always noticable with the human eye.
