Pelican Flying

 

Another advantage of an underwater camera is the ability to take photographs in a hazardous environment above water.  While the MX5 is relatively inexpensive, I'm beginning to understand the advantages of a top of the line SLR in a protective housing. Nikon introduced an underwater SLR a number of years ago which has subsequently been discontinued, probably because of its extremely high price. 

A number of images above water were soft due to the presence of water on the outside glass protecting the lens.  With a point and shoot, this is difficult to see.  

The image was captured at "site 4" as indicated on the map.
