Snorkelling Pictures

I finally managed to bring my camera to a snorkeling dive. Unfortunately, the first 3 or 4 pictures I took at the springs didn't print. Not all is lost, because the spring was extremely cloudy, even when I first got there - at that point only three scuba divers and I were in the pool. I don't know why it was so bad, but after seeing how the more or less well lit pictures turned out, I'm sure the pictures I took while 40 feet down were almost solid black. Next time, when I'm pretty deep where it is clearer, I'll use the flash and see how that works. Even when the sun was shining directly overhead, I could only see two or three feet farther down at sixty. Oh well.

Here are four of the better pictures I got of the fish as I swam along. Keep in mind that there were only a foot in front of the camera, and I still got the aim off. Live and learn. I saw some bigger fish this time, but I couldn't get withing 2 feet of them.


And here are four obligatory pictures of ME! I didn't want to waste the filem, so I took a few pictures of me, the equipment, the car, a parking lot.
