Anton - camera settings when the shot was made.

CanonA620 has "underwater" White Balance settings, cool for underwater photography.
Some of my shots were using Varicolor Filter to eliminate bluish color underwater.

All shots above are taken by amateur photographers only using point&shoot technology.

"The Venom"
[img width=480 height=360]http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a7/Jetaimet/Diventure05/DSC09877.jpg[/img]
Location: Red Sea
Site: Bikini Beach
Life ID: Pterois Miles (LionFish/Turkey Fish)
Camera: Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-P93
Settings: 8mm, F/2.8, 1/40 sec, ISO-100, Flash, Macro
Description: The fish have elongated dorsal fin spines and enlarged pectoral fins, and each species has a particular pattern of zebra like stripes. A person punctured by one of the sharp spines will immediately feel strong pain. Lion-fish stings can cause nausea, breathing difficulties, paralysis, convulsions and collapse. Even death may occur in exceptional circumstances. Most people survive in spite of the great pain.

Wow, it's so pretty down under!

But, the deep sea scares me so I'm staying on dry land and will content myself looking at your pretty pictures! =)
