In reply to Denise.

Thank you for getting back to me on this. Seriously don’t know how you do it, talk with each of us that is. I can image how busy you are and the energy it takes to keep afloat – and you do it with grace and charm -Egads I get tired just thinking about it 🙂 Looking forward to Pasadena. All Good Things your way.

In reply to natascha van niekerk. Hehe oooh yes I remember the bag quite well, and all of the nerves that go with it. I still have one actually, and would consider using it if I needed a DSLR. xo!

In reply to Denise. Hi Denise! The camera shoots .jpgs, but so far no problems! Its great because you can control exposure so much, so I find I don't need to make too many changes there. xo!

This is great Brooke! Learnt many of your tips the hard way, through trial and error! My first few underwater shoots I had to redo twice before I got it all figured out! (and absolutely still learning every time!) Thank you so much for sharing, so in love with your underwater images! Also great to hear about you using a point and shoot underwater camera, I’m currently using my Canon 5d in a dicapac bag, and it is absolutely nerve wracking every time, and also comes with its own set of challenges to actually just be able to operate the camera in the bag! Definitely looking into the panasonic lumix!

Hi, Brooke, this Daria Ratliff, from TX. This video is brilliant! We got an inexpensive underwater camera for my kiddos to take pictures in the ocean during a vacation and lately I’ve been playing around with it. To my surprise it’s been way better than what I thought! Here’s an image I tried the other day! Brooke, thank you always for you kindness and generosity! You’re a gentle soul! You can see my image here! http://dariaratliff.smugmug.com/Fine-art/Home
Love, love!!!
