Underwater Digital Photography
Posted by Filip Norrgard in "ARTICLE" @ 04:00 AM
"In the old days, scuba photography was a prohibitively expensive hobby as special underwater casings for SLR cameras could cost up to RM10,000 and beyond. Also, there were a limited number of underwater-only film cameras. But with the advent of digital cameras and ready-made casings for them, scuba photography has become a much more affordable pursuit. For instance, the 5 Megapixel Olympus C-5060 digital camera and its casing (that we used during a hands-on workshop conducted by Olympus Malaysia at Berjaya Redang Beach Resort in October) costs under RM4,000."
If you are thinking about going scuba diving and taking photos, this article from the Star Online is worth reading. I just learned that touching the coral is very, very bad idea when doing some diving. Practically as bad as touching a Ming dynasty vase in a museum. :mrgreen:
