Seaventures House Reef

July 2007

44

The Seaventures House Reef is not a reef but a piece of sea floor: the area around the pylons of the Seaventures rig, basically any place from where you can still see a pylon. While on the rig, you can always grab a tank and do a dive at the house reef. At first I thought I would't make too much use of the opportunity to dive there but this was actually one of the best dive sites in the area. It really is worthwhile to go down once or twice a day. It is a very limited area, but there are many distinct little areas with a big variety of marine life.

You can get a lot of nice effects with photoshop.


This is the unaltered pygmy seahorse.	One possible modification is to de-colour the background, i.e. to make it black and white (or a bit sepia for additional effect).	Another possibility is to increase the colour saturation of the foreground.	Of course you can also turn the colour wheel and shift red into blue.


This is the original seahorse.	This is the seahorse before a black and white background.	With this colour it would have been much easier to find.	But the green one would have been even easier to spot.

It's amazing what you can do in photoshop. If you look at the original, you can guess that there was a branch of the coral in the way but it is quite nicely gone.


The coral has been edited out but this version has colours unchanged.	Now it's a standard exercise to change the background to black and white.	And as we know the seahorse can be changed in colour as well.	Of course you can instead change the colour of the background. It also emphasises the colour of the seahorse.
