For Christmas my wife got me the Olympus waterproof digital camera. I was worried about dropping my old one accidentally, so this sounded like a good investment. Plus, it’s shockproof. But in addition to being safe to have around water, I’m going to have a lot of fun taking it under water.
Of course you can’t see what you’re doing so you just pick some settings (it has a couple of underwater pre-sets), stick it under and click away. And all the underwater photos I’ve tried have needed some Photoshop work to bump up the contrast. So I’m still getting used to it, but these recent shots gave me hope that, with practice and clear water, I might get lucky one of these days and get some really cool shots…
I’m going to try and post a couple here, but I’m not sure I’m doing this right…okay I’m just placing images here. Can you display an image that exists at a URL elsewhere without importing it here?
