Underwater Camera Goggles

- Why do underwater (swimming pool) pictures look blue (or more blue) than looking through goggles?
Maybe it's just me...I'm wondering why when I take a underwater picture it looks deep blue but to me - looking through goggles it looks basically clear with only a hint of blue? It's not the camera, out of the water everything looks the correct color.

A Chlorinated water (also water in general but mroe so with chlorine) naturally absorbs most colors on the color spectrum except blue which is reflected back to your eyes. When you take an underwater picture you are introducing more light into the water (the flash) which is reflected back as blue.

- OK. Like OO MMM GGG Review my winter vacation plans and tell me if you are jealous and if so, how much!!?
SO like hi. Here are the winter vacation plans. It's myself and my boyfriend with 4 other friends. Jan 6. Fly to Ft. Myers, FL from BOS. Flight is free because I work for jetblue. Stay over night with friends who work in RSW. Jan 7: Drive to Ft. Lauderdale in a rental car. Stay with friends who live in FT. lauderdale. overnight. Jan 8: Pick up our other 4 friends, and check into our Embassy Suites hotel room in Ft. Lauderdale. Hotel is free because we have Hilton points. Jan 9: BOARD our princess cruise ship!! It's a 7 night, and it only costed us 399 per person!!!!! (because airline employees can get discounts) Jan 10: at sea day...whatever we'll probably get massages Jan 11: GRAND cayman ISLANDS! I booked this thing with a local company where they take you out on a catamaran to a sand bar where sting ray congregate and swim with you then we go snorkel on a reef. Then, they put out the sail and we sail back with lunch. Spend the rest of the day in grand cayman..probably snorkeling or something Jan 12: HONDURAS!! we are going on a zip line from mountain top to mountain top. Not sure how long that will take but hopefully we can do something like go to the beach or something like that. Jan 13: COZUMEL Mexico! we're going to visit ruins in TULUM. they are so beautiful..right on the beach. cant wait for that. Jan 14 at sea. prob will tan on the boat or something jan 15: the princess cruise line private island... probably because they need to pick up supplies or something..whatever we will just go lay on the beach i bet because it will probably bee too touristy and expensive to do anything. plus its all with princess which equals rip off. Jan 16. back in FLL. We will probably be flying back home that day. So likeee. sound funnnn? What should I bring? Here is my list of things that I need to acquire. 1. Snorkel (with a ball floaty thing that closes when you dive under water) 2. goggles mask 3. underwater digital camera. (thinking cannon d10) 4. need some formal clothes to wear on the ship 5. new nice shoes What ElSe??

A A two thong swimsuits to make the fat old people jealous. A stylish sun hat or light that will stay on in the wind or a weight ball cap. Small writing pad so you can right down the names of people you meet or things you want to do and leave your phone behind. Something more sporty than knee length board shorts for your boyfriend. Discover the very top deck of the cruse ship where the crew sometimes sunbathe, and if you are daring you can go topless. There is nothing like no strap lines to make the people at home envy your tan when you return. DO NOT get the snorkel with the floaty ball thing. Get one with a straight tube, no kinks, wrinkles or valves. Take some classes BEFORE you leave on how to use a snorkel correctly. Ask at your local swimming pool or diving club. Someone will show you and let you practice in fresh water till you get the hang of it. If you learn to snorkel properly before you go you will have MUCH more fun and spend more time in the water. This may be a together thing, learning together.
