I bought one of those new waterproof P&S for a recent fishing trip and got this shot of a bonefish:

Let me tell you, composing and focus underwater, when you are above water, is difficult. Anyone else do this and have some tips?
It is the purpose of life that each of us strives to become actually what he is potentially. We should be obsessed with stretching towards that goal through the world we inhabit.

    Love it. I would have a hard time reaching for a camera instead of my fly rod.

    Quite an amazing image given the conditions you described. Recommendations? Use a rod/reel next time :D

    I wonder if you attach a 1/4 inch stud to the bottom of a fly rod, how would the shots come out. it may be fun to get the landing of the fish while you are wading in a stream. can you do a remote trigger for those P&S cameras.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"
