I was a professional photographer for 30 years. What could be so difficult about learning the underwater camera. Should be simple.
the simple truth of the matter is that I am impulsive. I get these ideas in my head, and instead research things first, as an adult, and what to go with "When in Rome" theory - if the opportunity presents its me, then surely I should use it.
Well last time I was in "Rome" sign out front read "Shutterbug Photo Accessories" and the idea I was throwing around the underwater photography. So when I spotted a cute little underwater camera, I bought it. Surely it was meant to be.
Now, 30 years as a professional photographer, one would assume that I watched this thing over a little before throwing my money on the table and trot off with her delusions grandeur dancing in my head. But nooooo. As a pro, I'm figuring that this little toy camera should be a breeze.
Did I mention I'm not a big fan of cake? Well, I did.
the first thing I do is charge stvar.Dan or two later, I'm going to play with him and the dead. Why is it dead? Since the video capabilities, without the knowledge of me and pushed me into little idiot "record" button, not "off" button, and I am now in possession of a very long, very riveting video my computer keyboard. Bully for me!
So I refill the darn thing, and I was finally able to sit down with him and read the manual .... Go to the box .... not be used. Call. "Where's the manual?" I am informed that the manual camera. Oh, swell. The technology of this nature is not my friend. I spend an hour messing around with a camera and computer can not.
But, no problem! I'm a PRO! Surely they can figure this out on my own, after all, I own several cameras in my day! Of course not taking into account that this thing is just a step above the cell phone camera, and thus far in my life, just a cell phone photos I could have taken in my back pocket. But hey - like I said ...

...As the "beauty" set. Now, the first question that comes to mind is "As opposed to what?" I think the "Ugly" setting? How about "over the hill" setting? Is the camera to face lifts? Breast jobs? Just exactly what this camera is the definition of "beauty"? Then there is "Magic" setting. Wait! Now I know what it is! This must be set up face lift! Right?
then my options get even scarier. I am a landscape setting, not to be confused with the following settings to the landscape setting of snow-capped mountains. A fireworks display setting, which was set up with candles. And on and on. But my favorite, which comes immediately after the "flower" setting "of fruits and vegetables" setting.
What? I almost fell stolice.Voće and Vegetables set up? For what? Someone buying a small camera is aimed at taking photographs of their squash plants? What if a random teddy in the background? Does this mean that photos can not do? And for that matter - How does my CAMERA know the difference between the petunia AND CARROT
Wait! Carrots are root vegetables - why not have the settings for it? I have it back! Carrot Farmers of America, unite! It's discriminatory!
Somehow, I'm not sure how to be honest - I managed to find the settings I need in underwater departments that have a pool, one fish, two fish, underwater scenery and people underwater options. I think. So, I go off to the old college try.
Now, for the record, underwater photography with the model is very, very challenging and model and part of mine. I know this because I have to do with my old film camera. But after a series of this road, I am quite sure, that despite great limitations can do.
holy krava.Prvi horrific moment came when I put my weight belt from ten years ago and would not have my remote is extended from the back of the water. I became a cork. Weights or not, my blubber shoots to the surface like a bullet and I have to hire help to keep me here. Joy. I have obviously built into the buoy. Secondly, I am forced to look only at the back of the camera that I can not see underwater, mask or no mask. Fine. Then we have non-sinkable model (obviously I have only buoy in the city!). The whole thing is hilarious.
, but I did it. Fighting the whole time, I managed to get some very cool photos of women underwater. I then show them to a photographer friend of mine. Mind you, I'm really proud of (mainly due to the fact that no one drowned, and I managed to stay in) and well, I like njih.Puno, actually.
Then I hear this: "Yes, they are cool, but why is it green ?"
My short answer? Avatar can not stand? Since I clearly have to zucchini SETTING !!!!!
Just shoot me now.
