I spent a lof of time thinking about what a good introductory post could look like. So I decided to show a couple of my underwater pics and videos. I used a Pentax Optio W90 for these pictures. All pics were taken not far from where I live and were made during different trips this year. There's nothing really special here, because it is not easy to handle a camera underwater when you can't look at the screen. Sometimes I'm still surprised of the outcome. Nevertheless, I enjoyed seeing amphibians from a different point of view.
Hope you'll like the pics and videos a little bit.
