Hey guys.
I just want to ask peoples opinions about this.

I did a dive this morning, absolutely fantastic (nuff said). This was also the first time that I've used a camera (don't ask me what it was as I couldn't tell you as I hired it from my LDS). I managed to take loads of pics (will post them up next week sometime), but the thing that I found difficult was keeping my buoyancy neutral.

If I was taking a pic away from the reef of a school of fish that were swimming past, I was okay with my buoyancy. But when I tried to take a pic close-ish to the reef and keep still long enough to keep the camera steady, I felt (and nearly did) go into the reef wall and damage the coral.

Sorry about the long prose, but any one got any helpful hints or ideas?
I haven't done any underwater photgraphy courses as yet - but I might be inclined to include this when I do my Advanced OW next month.
