Underwater Pictures With My New Camera

[stylolvr]

So I posted this over in the Photography forum, but figured I would share here as well. My parents just got me a new camera for Chrismas. I am normally not one to open presents before Christmas, but was forced to so I could take good pictures of their new granddaughter's first Christmas, as they live out of state and won't be in town for it. The camera is an Olympus Stylus Tough-6000, waterproof to 3 meters with macro capabilities. I have been playing around with it today, and finally got the nerve to stick it in the tank to take a few shots. Here are a couple from the dry side for reference.

And a few from underwater. I'm really excited to finally be able to take some good pictures of the tank (and of course, my daughter's first Christmas:rollface

It was a bit tricky cleaning the lens after I got finished. It is a P&S, and the lens stays flush with the body of the camera, so it took a few tries to get it completely dry and smudge free.

Thanks for the compliments all!

Thanks Sue!

Since I have a good picture of them now, anybody care to enlighten me as to what type of zoas are in the first 2 underwater pics. I'm not usually one for names, and they may not even be anything specific, but if you know, or think you know, help me out! Thanks!
