Thought I would bump this. Some stunning and inspiring pics taken with the "cheapo" cameras. Let's see some more!

So are these taken with the camera fully submerged? Looks great either way.

lordofthereef · 01/14/2010, 02:14 PM

Yup, stuck it in macro mode and about 4-5 inches from the corals while the camera was in the tank.

Crustman · 01/14/2010, 08:21 PM

Nice photos and nice blue xenia. Man, that is blue!

lordofthereef · 01/21/2010, 01:45 PM

Let's keep them coming

qfrisco · 01/21/2010, 03:58 PM

Here's my contribution:

Camera: Canon A590IS I bought for $95 on craigslist. I did hack it with CHDK to enable precise manual focus, RAW support, and histogram.

Korrine · 01/21/2010, 04:34 PM

wow qfrisco. What kind of corals are they?

Thanks! The coral in the first picture I bought as an ORA Purple Plasma, but I think it was mislabeled. I think it's just a valida of some sort. The second is a Christmas colored acan. The third is a Blue Tort, and the fourth is a Purple Pillow.

thebkramer · 01/21/2010, 06:36 PM

The corals in these pictures are sooooo... gorgeous!!! I wish I had alot of them!!!

CRVZ--I absolutely LOVE love love those zoas! I want, I'm comin for them! lol

None of mine are photoshopped. Well, all I do is adjust the white balance and crop. That's it.

lordofthereef · 02/02/2010, 04:48 AM

Another bump. Hoping for more pics with those "cheapo" cameras

pammy · 02/02/2010, 07:21 AM

The first group of pictures were taken with my newer Canon SX200is and the second group were taken with my older Canon Powershot A95....both Point and Shoot cameras. Pam

Canon SX200is:

Canon Powershot A95:

lordofthereef · 02/07/2010, 12:17 AM

Canon seems to be the brand of choice. Any more out there?

Tswifty · 02/16/2010, 06:06 PM

smootie · 02/16/2010, 09:24 PM

I bought a Canon Powershot D10 for snorkeling (waterproof to 10 meters or 33 feet). Was about $280 from Amazon, free shipping. Works pretty good for tank shots, too!

lordofthereef · 02/18/2010, 04:17 PM

Love the harlequin shot. What is that the third picture down (between the zoanthid shot and the hermit crab shot)?

lordofthereef · 02/18/2010, 04:17 PM

Tswift -- what camera are you using?
