Shot Across the Bow
This was shot with my underwater-camera-on-a-floatable-stick device.

Mounted on the head is a Canon G9 in a rigid waterproof housing. The camera itself is set to a custom self-timer that shoots 3 shots in rapid succession 10 seconds after the shutter button is pushed.

Thank you for all the messages of encouragement everyone sent to us. Not only are we happy with our performance, we are delighted that the tracking system functioned properly for those of you who wanted to follow along. Read more
