Re: Cebu, Philippines

It's too bad you shot with such high shutter speeds, necessitating really high ISO images.   What you want is a lot of dynamic range to allow you more latitude in pulling up shadows and reducing highlights.

I try to keep shutter speeds around 1/160th or a bit higher, though I'm now dealing with a DSLR that has much lower sync speeds than a mirrorless camera.  (Max 1/250th-1/320th, for my camera).

On the whale shark image you may be able to boost exposure by a stop, then pull the black slider back to clarify the image.   It tends to be more effective for underwater shots than using the clarity slider.
