Underwater 2015

I know a few of us have underwater cameras now :D

I've been doing a photo a day challenge for January, so have made myself get the little camera out more. I really want to learn to control it better - particularly the focus. I have had more success with the tracking focus, but I still seem to have a lot of throwaways - although after speaking to other photographers that have it, they say the same. Spray and pray :D

I am quite fascinated with underwater stuff, so would love you guys to share.

I'm so annoyed I cut the top off, CC! But I'm trying to let it go :laugh: I'm obsessed with getting the perfect half in/half out shots at the moment - it's really hard!

I should try using my P&S waterproof more........painful adjustment after using a proper type camera though haha.

Closest I've got is me in the water with the camera, but his 1/2 under haha

He endlessly tries to 'fetch' rocks on the river which obviously just sink, entertaining for all involved at least.

I don't have an underwater camera but I have an imitation go pro. I tied it the dog's collars one day and went to the beach. it has a time lapse mode and took photos every 5 seconds while they ran around :) I will upload some. They aren't brilliant but it was fun to do.

Ok, here we go. Photo credits on the pictures to each "photographer". And it was interesting that the pictures from each of them were quite different and the field of view of a beagle compared to a border collie is quite different.

It was good fun. And quite exciting - almost like using film. I couldn't wait to get home and see what we had got :) The unfortunate thing is they are very low resolution when using the time lapse mode and no ability to change exposure or focus or anything but still good fun.

Is it sad to say I only got the camera so I could attach it to the dogs??

haha, did have a chuckle at Piper saying only got the camera for the hounds. Crazy dog person? haha, no not at all. It's no different to get one to stick on top ones dirt bike helmets, they're all just there to capture personal interests we enjoy.

Tay, dunk it without fear. That camera is way better than my old Panasonic one, and it's lived in water for days at times, been smashed on rocks abseiling etc, still works 100%. A mate through his off a 25m waterfall then realized it was on the outside of his pack, screen cracked but still works and in water, if only phones were built like these things! haha.

Noticed some flash fill shots on your Flickr too, works pretty good.

You guys! Put them in the water :D It's heaps of fun, but a totally new learning curve.

Tay - Love that first one with the happy face. Cool colours too :)

Annie - love the bum in the air :D Does yours have a wider option? Because they look almost fish eye.
