I don’t really intend to take my Canon EOS 7D into the water anytime soon, but for some reason, I’m a bit fascinated by underwater camera housings (or is it houses?). The very fact that I can take my camera into some place that’s totally not meant for a camera to be just makes me wish I had an underwater case to house my Canon 7D in.
Well, Ikelite sells an impressive looking underwater housing for the Canon EOS 7D for about $1500. I’m still not going to buy it, but it sure is the most complete underwater housing I’ve seen for the Canon 7D yet. It has controls for just about every part of the camera (except the multi-directional button on the back) and allows one to bring the Canon 7D up to 60m down into the water to either take still photos or video of whatever’s down there.
This photo taken by John Bazemore for the Associated Press shows a house nearly consumed by flood waters in Mableton, Georgia on Tuesday (September 22, 2009). As posted earlier, parts of Georgia have experienced tremendous rainfall which has caused massive flooding and several deaths.
They Will Come To Town is an amazing short film from the Institute of Animation Visual Effects and Digital Postproduction that shows viewers what New York City and the world may look like if we don’t act now to stop global warming.
Can’t get away from the office to go diving and swimming with the sea turtles? No problem! Just watch this HD video shot underwater with a Canon 5D Mark II and a 17-40mm L lens. [via]
