Underwater fish shots

Post by Angry »

Ive been wondering if anyone has used an waterproof housing for underwater shots with an SLR ??

Ive been thinking about taking some in/out water shots of fish beside the boat.

Been looking around but cant find a housing under $1500 (for my Sony A550 DSLR.

Been keen to do some shots 1/2 in,. 1/2 out of the water ( no Crocs down here )

Anyone dione any underwater /in water fish shots

Have only done it with my old point and shoot.
Really keen to give it a go with the new SLR but same as you I can't find a housing cheaper than the price of my camera (nikon d3000)
