What a beautiful bird…
I take that previous statement back!!!
From top to bottom: Spotted Jellyfish, Grey Kangaroo, Australian Raven, Darter, Straw-necked Ibis (Juvenile).
I took my camera to Heirisson Island this morning just before it started to rain. I was hoping to catch the kangaroo in the soft glow of sunrise, and found myself photographing all sorts of creatures. I crouched in the water and rain for an hour with majorly aching hips to get a decent photo of some pink jellyfish, and learned a few lessons about lighting underwater (utilising only the sun here). I did wonder if having dozens of little floaters touching me was safe… luckily if any got too near I wafted them away with the end of my camera.
Well, I’m pretty cold now from being out in the rain all morning, so I’m putting on David Attenborough’s “Life in the Undergrowth” and cuddling up with a blanket, while simultaneously mowing down some soup.

What kind of camera are you using for underwater?

Canon Powershot D20 – it’s a tough little camera, it also shoots macro nicely.

after seeing your jelly fish I wonder if man ever really creates anything original… even the creatures of the sea are decorated with polka dots..

That’s a valid point. I am sure most of mans inspiration is sourced from nature!
