Default My hat off to all you underwater photogs.

Tried taking photos of fish and coral (albiet with a Kodak film disposable with no flash) and it was bloody hard work.

I suppose this is the area of photography where digital cameras are a welcome development. Can't imagine how they used to do it with film cameras - they would have to been highly skilled or very lucky to get good shots.

Reessspect.

lol i'm one of the non-eco friendly diver who burns film.
one of my biggest flop was trying to snap a blue spotted juvenile ray.
i thought i did aim as well as i could.

guess what came out...

the tail of the ray on the bottom left corner. rest of the pic?

blue water.

lol.. hopefully can have better pics to show once i developed this new roll!
