Underwater with the McCann Brothers

[mbarrick]

logik graciously invited valerian and I over to gnaw on the seared flesh from the defiled corpses of innocent animals in the green-space beside his apartment building's outdoor pool. I took the opportunity to test my new waterproof camera. Behold the results:

The building as seen from the bottom of the pool. This is not a Photoshop filter simulating looking through water. I was sitting on the bottom of the pool a good six feet under actual water. I will have to get swimming goggles if I am going to do this again. Without goggles I couldn't see the screen worth a damn so composition was mostly guesswork and luck - nonetheless I managed to make a few interesting images.

logik swimming above me.

And let it be known: in the 20th century it took NASA and billions of dollars to land a man on the moon, but now in the 21st for only $500 you can moon a man in the water. I'll spare you that photo.

Hahaha!! I am so jealous! The camera model just below mine at 7.2 megapixels has a water casing you can purchase for it, and I was soooooo liking the idea of going on a holiday next year and snorkeling with colourful fishies, but of course, you can't get the casing for my camera.... *disgruntled*

There are underwater housings for my other digitals as well. I don't imagine the infrared would be very useful underwater, though (red doesn't penetrate far under water). The housing for my big camera is an amazing bit of engineering, good to 60 metres, but way, way, too expensive for me. Weirdly enough there is also an additional underwater housing for this camera that takes it from being good to ~3 metres to 40 metres.

Maybe by next year the underwater housing for your camera will be available. If not, there are always the underwater disposables.
