Camera box

So i made a box that goes over the lense of the camera so i could put it under water and take some pictures with out the glare and waves in the water. Just kinda messing around here are a few pictures.

Nice shots. Did you just use acrylic for the underwater housing you built?

So its sloppy and i just made it kinda quickly but it works well. I left some hanging over the "lens" piece of acrylic so it would get scratched if we set it down. There are 4 small holes in the extra hanging over so that the air bubble can escape. Again i got the idea from melevsreef.com somewhere i just can't find the page again. so credit is all his.

ziggy- jimbo is already planning on taking a bunch of pictures of them i'm sure. i think they come on wed. (tomorrow) I really hope they are as cool as they looked in the ebay picture because they are awsome looking there.
