Recreational Reading
I really lucked out with this contest ! Another photographer and I had a underwater fashion shoot , and we engage all the gear mechanism for our tv camera to go under . It was tough shoot as we kept float to the top before we could focalize and take photos . So after for a while I ended up diving event and just push down on the shutter for speedy fire . We used quite a few books as prop and this one is one of my front-runner . I never read the book … Canon 7D , Canon 35 mm f/1.8 , ISO : 200 , pic time : 1/500th , Underwater gear : Aquatech housing

Inversion
This picture was taken other morning in my pocket billiards using my FujiFilm Finepix Z33 subaquatic camera using the easy yet boring Auto modal value , ab initio the picture was flipped the other way but I think by tack it this means the outcome looks much cooler , as for taking the ikon keep in mind this was other morning and that piss was ball disappearing common cold and lets just say I did n’t get this shot on my first endeavour … lol

Tell ’em Joe Sent You
On the advice from an email commutation between myself and your Joe Brown , I grease one’s palms the Panasonic Lumix DMC - TS3 a couple of day ago . Of course now I see that Nikon just announced a new broken camera ; so let ’s trust that one is n’t as good . My girlfriend and I are heading to Mexico , and we wanted to try out the camera out before we go . So this afternoon we went to her uncles pool , and after much mucking about with the setting , and take after take , I was able to get this one off . Thanks Joe for the great proffer , I love the tv camera , and it many , many , many configurations to jibe its big capability ISO : 100 , f/3.3 , Shuter Speed 1/1000 sec

Hurricane Jones
Hurricane Irene was be intimate around outside so I decided to flirt with immersing my lens in rotating bowls of water instead of venturing outside . You might guess that the hurricane wind and pelting outside my windowpane dress the climate for this shot . canyon D7 with Tamron 10 - 24 mm , f4.5 , 1/60 , ISO 400

A Thai Pebbles Tornado
I do n’t own a waterproof camera and have never taken submersed picture , but before journey to the beach of Thailand I knew I had to find a way . I have a Canon PowerShot SD130 IS and found a DicaPac WP410 small zoom alfa waterproof digital camera vitrine on Amazon that I now buy . I see this photograph challenge and get it on it was time for me to give this formative waterproof event a try . I order my camera into the shell and hesitatingly dip it into the exculpated water of Haad Yuan beach in Koh Phangan , Thailand . Not kick the bucket to lie in , it definitely was a second nerve - wracking trusting a $ 20 plastic postal code / velcro character with my digital camera ; but , I end up having a blast and capturing some great stab . One of the things I loved about this challenge was the simple joy my beau and I experienced in assay to catch the beach pebble ’ motility in the H2O . It was always a really nice surprise to see how the picture turned out when we brought the tv camera out of the urine . This mental picture is my favorite because although the waterproof display case did n’t provide great timber impression , I was still able to bewitch the amazing bm of the sea wave against the fall pebbles … our own underwater tornado .

The Old Fish Tank Maneuver
This was not originally what I search out to do for this competition . But terminate up take the route anyhow . What I did was I took a hexangular fish tankful one-half drown . I then placed my Nikon D60 inside the tank . Under a very careful balancing enactment in the pool , I throw the tank with one weapon system , my chest of drawers , and my Kuki-Chin . In the deal hold the army tank I held a stick with the minifig stuck on the death . Then reached down with the other limb and hit the shutter . Glad I gauged the distance right on as I had it on manual focus . Focal : 26 mm , 1/250s , f/8 , ISO:100

Lion’s Mane Jellyfish
This is a Lion ’s Mane Jellyfish I found while kayaking in southern Puget Sound . This jelly has stings that could , if it attain you enough , kill you by paralyze your muscle so much that you ca n’t breathe . I was in the kayak at the time – just held the camera underwater and did my near to aim and let the camera auto - focus . Eventually my girl insist that I take my bare hands out of the water .
Taken with a Canon S90 in a waterproofed inclosure . 1/125th second exposure at f/4.0 , ISO 80 . Color balanced in Paint . NET and Photoshop .

‘Sup Nemo
I first adjudicate “ bathtub underwater picture taking ” for the Shove It challenge ( I ended up with a India rubber ducky snap ) , so I knew I did not need to do the same thing again . And since going to the pool or beach was pretty much impossible with tropical storm Irene here , I adjudicate to go the wanton elbow room on this one and went to a local pet fund to get this shot . Thanks go to Nemo for his piercing stare .
Canon T2i , 10 millimetre , f/2.8

Ray Burst
For this challenge I decided to use my GoPro for the obvious grounds that it is rainproof , and went boat paddle boarding at Lake Tahoe . This shot is the silhouette of my wife paddle embarkation , I think the sun ray in the piddle were a very neat effect . This was a alone challenge because I never use this camera to take pictures with , primarily due to the fact that its the non - HD version , the lack of a usable view finder , and lack of functions . On the positive side I enjoyed shoot with the the fish eye lens , and was eager to see what I had captured .

Unintentionally Waterproof
This video was taken with a Nikon D700 and Tokina 12 - 24 lens , housed in an ewa - marine ubxp-100 . ISO 200 , F5.0 , 1/1000 . Two twelvemonth ago my D200 went swimming in the ocean with me when my old housing flooded . It might not take photograph anymore , but it ’s still fun to take it swimming .

Shave
I was unrestrained for this challenge because I live I could adopt a waterproofed camera ( Sony Cybershot DSC - TX5 ) from a friend . When think of what to capture underwater I wanted to take a more utilitarian approach to it ’s role . I decide to endeavor to enamor the act of grazing because I could include all the elements I like best in underwater photography . The bubbles from the faucet piddle , a mortal in material body , a subject area distorted by being on the other side of a go medium roadblock , and a subject within the medium to compare and contrast with the one on the other side . I turned on the camera ’s 10sec shutter timer and set it down on the bottom of a sump . catch makeup right was tricky but with enough trial and misplay I got one that I liked . Camera automatic context come out to ISO800 , F 3.5 , and 1/200sec . Did some clean up editing in Adobe Lightroom before meekness .

I know , I know , not everyone was so bold as to overwhelm their cameras for this week ’s challenge . But next week , when you ’re required to take photos of attack within the flame themselves , you ’ll be begging for a refreshful respite . The wallpapers are onflickr .
