Thumbs up Cool RBTA Pix: underwater camera case!
I thought some might be interested in one of my new camera toys. I've had a Canon PowerShot 7.2 mega pixel camera that is very nice.... but I just got the underwater case for this camera and the pix are just awesome! I put the camera in the case and plunged it into my tank for these nice macro shots. The flash even has a diffuser for ideal pix underwater.

No more problems with flash reflections off the glass! Below are pix of my RBTA and skunk clown. No color retouching has been done to these. This is going to be fun and it makes me look like a pro!

Open Brain
Here are a few of my Open Brain coral. Take a look at those close up shots. This macro setting is sweet!

Wow dude very nice. I have an older model PowerShot 5 for 5 megapixel. I wanted to buy the underwater cas but was not sure how well it would work. Now i am going to buy it. I do allot of spearfishing so its going to be neat to do some 20second clips.

Here is a link to where I purchased the underwater case. It is not cheap @ $170 bucks!

I have the SD-500 PowerShot that uses this case.

They make the cases for other Canon cameras as well. I

I used the very close up shot of the open brain as my Avitar. What pix from above do you think is the coolest? I was going to do the RBTA with the clown, but that just looks like I stole the pix from someone and is pretty typical. However, my RBTA does have about perfect coloring.
