Koi

 
Well, tonight a brief update, and some more pics taken with the new underwater camera.  In this case, I thought I'd try for some underwater pics featuring fish, and so spent an hour or so up to my elbows in the pond at my parents house.
 
 
It has to be said, this was the first time I've ever tried this, and these pics are purely experimental.

 
First issue (after the general cloudiness of the water) was trying to get the monster Koi Carp into frame at all.  The fish went from being spooked by the camera to somewhat blasé ignoring of it, in a short space of time.  It was tricky to get them captured neatly anyway, as the camera cant cope too well with moving subject matter.



 
In any case, I don't think wildlife photography is something we'll be doing much of with this camera, but it was worth a try nonetheless.
 
In other news, we've recently entered work in for an exhibition at the Bradford Open (we find out if anything has been selected for the show this week), and we've also entered a nationwide competition, again if we get anything in we'll post about it...
