"Under Cover"

This weeks TOTALLY INFORMAL TRANSGLOBAL CHALLAGE IS "UNDER COVER"
visit other Pbase entries here: http://forum.pbase.com/viewtopic.php?t=36665

My Canon 20D underwater and thus under cover of a housing

A bit lame I know. but very busy at work with two groups leaving for Fla.
I tried taking pictures of my pool by lifting the winter cover but those came out very bad.
I had to DEA agents in and thought of asking them to allow me to shoot (yes pun intended) thier guns and badges but figured I'd skip that idea. :)

Even had a friend stop in to ask why I had not posted yet.

The funny part is that I had to borrow a p&s camera to take this shot and felt silly trying to figure it out.....

Canon PowerShot S1 IS
1/60s f/2.8 at 7.0mm full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Nice bit of gear to play with. My underwater housing on my olympus stylus verves s leaked on me. I was told the seals needed grease. Do you do that?

Great shot! Hope there wasn't a leak!

At first glance I thought that was a camera on steroids!

Great idea! I need one of those when I go diving in Mexico in a couple of months! Do they work???

You must protect the camera when under water. Nice shot to inform us on the equipment that you use. good idea.

Now this is a shot you will NEVER see from me!!!

Amazing looking for those of us who don't go underwater with our gear!

Don't feel silly on the P&S. I was humbled a couple weeks ago.
