what camera are u using?

 

[sam11909]

A Cannon PowerShot SD 1100 in a Dicapac underwater camera case.

great pics, but they look a little blue - are you shooting jpg or raw? if you shoot in raw, you can adjust the white balance in post-processing.

 

[sam11909]

jpg I think. Yeah most of my light is actinic.

besides the fact that with a viewing tray you can only get a vertical shot, how do you compare using a viewing tray (like a mini clear bottom boat) with the whole camera underwater?

if you've never used a viewing tray than nvm

 

[sam11909]

I haven't used one but I think you could get a lot better pictures with the camera because of the different angles you can get instead of just straight down. Plus if you have a larger tank you can get a closer pic without losing quality by zooming. It only cost me $30 so I thought I'd try it out.

Is that cover pretty safe? Looks kinda cheapy. I worry water might leak in.

It does look cheap but so far there has been no leaks. I'm kinda worried about the seal, it looks like a ziploc bag zipper.
