Very first attempts with the Sony DSC-W300.

These were taken from inside a home aquarium.

What looks at first glance like voided pixels is actually suspended particles I disturbed off the wood:

I'm presuming the bright light that is showing up is coming from a bounce off the glass, as the flash was in use (non-external)

Looking forward to the possibilities................

C&C always welcome.

Whenever you use flash underwater backscatter from suspended particles is a problem. Off camera flash helps but we spend a lot of time trying to find the best flash position to avoid it.

I like the last shot, everything seems to have come together there. Just a shame about the weed in front of the face.
