Hawaiian Themes - Part II - Sea Life (Page 2): Tropical reef fish are beautiful and fun to watch. I'm glad some of my photos of them turned out well enough for others to see.

Thank you Snap Shot. It's always a pleasure to spend time in the islands where there's so much to see and do. I'm glad you enjoyed these.

Here are a few of the shots I got both above and in the water while in Hawaii. The in water shots were taken with the new Olympus which is designed for all kinds of abuse.

Shooting under water was a learning experience since I couldn't really see what I was getting until much later. It was a matter of aiming and hoping, but I got enough "keepers" to make it fun.

Wow! That's neat Vicki, love those under water shots.

It was fun experimenting with the underwater camera. I know the pros take better shots, but these will be something our family will remember from this trip. I'm glad you enjoyed them.

Vicki, excellent photos both above and below. Saltwater fish sure do have the colors that freshwater lack. Love them and thanks for sharing.

Superb set of very colourful images and good for you for taking the plunge (no pun intended) with your new camera.

Very nice, as was your first set. I've had a couple Olympus point & shoots (one way back in the film days.) Loved both of them.
