Hello,
I tried my hand at some underwater photography, snorkelling off the wrecks near Tangalooma on Moreton Island. The camera is a Canon G11 and I picked up the Canon polycarbonate housing for it locally at a good price. During the 60-minute session, I just pointed the camera/housing at the subject and clicked (full of hope!) as it was impractical to look at the rear LCD screen due to the conditions.
The fish were incredibly inquisitive and didn’t seem to mind our presence as long as we didn’t make any sudden moves. There were several challenges to overcome - the current, buoyancy, murky waters with probably the main one being inexperience.
I have also thrown in a shot of a Kingfisher, which I managed to sneak up on, getting to within some 20 metres before the creature flew off.
Cheers
Dennis
