Just had to share :)

Scheduled delivery on my Olympus 5060 is tomorrow. Unfortunately, it will sit at work until Wednesday evening, when I'll be getting back from New Orleans(for business) - ugh!

That'll leave me with about 2 evenings to get the hang of it before I head out to central FL for the springs this weekend. I'm planning on having alot of crummy shots to chalk up to learning experience! - Arg!

Waiting is pure torture, isn't it! The best way to learn is to shoot until your fingers bleed!

We want to see those shots from this weekend

Congrats! To help speed up the learning curve take a look at the posting 5060 settings - there are more like it that might help too.

It's a good camera, have fun with it

Welp, the camera beat me to work today, so I'll have it in New Orleans to tinker around with in the hotel room.

Thanks for the link orangeBloke, I printed out the thread to read and try out this evening or the next.

alcina - I'll definately be posting pictures, whether they are good or not - either way, some of you vets will be able to point me to the way of improvement.

Peter Schulz has some great info on the Splashdown Divers site. Not just settings, he covers just about everything.

Thanks SeaYoda The initial investment was enough to make me light-headed... I'm going to have to check myself into a hospital when I start looking at strobes and WALs, ect

That link was very helpfull Dee, thanks tons!

Here's my first attempt with the camera, well... other than the lampshade in the hotel room the past few days.

This is just WAY too much fun!
