Swimming Photos

We bought our self another new camera. It was going to be a Christmas present, or bought in post Christmas sales, but a local shop had a sale last weekend that we couldn’t resist. We already own a beautiful digital SLR camera, which we LOVE, and it takes really nice photos, but it has it’s limitations……

We have bought this new camera as it is waterproof, shockproof, dust/sand proof and most importantly, essentially child proof. We bought primarily to take on our trip to America. We wanted a camera we can take to Disney World, and around other theme parks, and to the beach in Hawaii and not have to always worry about it getting wet, sandy or broken. It is a little, simple point and shoot camera, but it takes reasonable photos. It’s a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FT10 in case you’re interested.

  

We took it to the local pool to test it out last weekend. It’s not bad for a point and shoot camera. (By the way, all the photos in the “Random Fun” post that I just uploaded were taken with this new camera). There is HEAPS of video too, but Tracie is editing it, and it’s still 6minutes long. Once she cuts it down a bit, I will upload it too.

Below are some pool photos. Ben in the green cap and goggles. Ethan has no cap and blue goggles…

 

I like this one, looks like he’s walking on water!

And some underwater photos…..      

Ben and Ethan are doing really well at swimming these days. I’ll try and upload some video soon. We have been trying really hard to get them lots of practice with their swimming, so they will be able to have lots of fun this summer, and when we go to America next year. It is paying off, they LOVE swimming, and are improving every week.
