Underwater in South Australia with Panasonic DMC-FT1

Hey guys, I thought you'd be interested in seeing the results of shooting in <5 metres of water, using ambient light only with Panasonic's 12 megapixel waterproof point n' shoot, the DMC-FT1. The subjects vary, but all shots are taken under these conditions, and on South Australia's rocky reefs. :)

You can see more images at my RedBubble portfolio.... enjoy!

Hello, danimations. Looks like that Panasonic does a good job.

yep, I'm fond of it. I don't have a dive license, so I snorkel with a weightbelt to take my pictures. That requires good lungs and an extra steady hand ;)

Thank you for sharing these images - we hardly ever get underwater N&W images.

Something I've always wanted to do. But haven't found a way to move the ocean closer to me.

Thanks for the words of appreciation, Loupey. If you're a decent swimmer (and have your cameras insured) I'd take a look at ewa-marine's range of affordable custom soft-housings for going beneath the waves ;) http://www.ewa-marine.com/

The water's warming up here in South Australia as we head towards Summer... so I'll be sure to share more of my aquatic adventures :thumbsup:

Excellent under water photo!!..TFS!

Nice shots, and thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the compliments, gentlemen!

Eric: you should consider snapping up one of these cameras and hitting the surf with it :idea:

In the USA, I believe the camera has a slightly different model number: try DMC-TS1. :thumbsup:

Very nice to see underwater images!

Thanks Paul- I'll be sure to post more as I make them. :p

Very nice shots, I love snorkelling when I get the opportunity on vacations. Keep em coming...
:)

Seems like a very supportive community I've stumbled into here! Thanks Scott :)
