What sort of camera do you use for underwater shots? I'm assuming its not a DSLR?

Its just a olympus mu 720 in a dive case, nothing flash.
Its small enough it fits in my pocket so can pull it out if I run into anything interesting.

thats a very nice shot znomit
lovely colours and contrast
i guess this moment of tranqility is fleeting as i suppose the flash scares the hell out of them

Dunno if the flash annoys them or not. They don't move very fast so you can snap away until your air runs out or your dive buddy gets bored/angry/lost.
Hard to find the little suckers.

That's some nice work you've done there Woodsy. Props.

Great examples of photojournalism from Somalia over the last couple of weeks.... http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/2009/0 ... ml#photo31

Amazing the peril some photographers will place themselves in to get these sorts of images.

Darryn Lyons was doing that before starting big pictures he was covering bosnia there were good shots that came out of that(some way to graphic to post here)

Downloaded the trial version of Photomatix to have a play around with HDR. This photo of an old piece of machinery lying in the Penang jungle was really hard to expose given the really dark shadows combined with strong light filtering in through the trees.

First shot is the original with no exposure compensation and the second is 3 images bracketed by 2/3s of a stop and 5 minutes playing in Photomatix which really captures the detail from the shadows. Pretty cool little tool... that I'd like to learn to use properly I think .

finaly !! got a shot that i have been trying to get for some time oh a couple others from today from up the hills

DUDE. Awesome.

Nowhere near the standard of the other photos recently posted, but one of the my orchids was on the way out so I managed to get a few interesting shots while the petals were semi-transperant

A few recent shots and workings of a couple of old..

Ohau:


Mcleans Island - best viewed large... as out of the camera...

Nice work.
The second one hurts my eyes though, I like the last 2 the best.

Uh my px are too big how are you supposed to post them here without them getting chopped?

Do I have to resize them or ..?
