Hope you do not mind this question, didn't want to start a new thread..

I have my 40D, and I want to shoot some underwater photographs...

What can a used waterproof case go for? (What do you reccomend?)

Beginner lighting (yes, I know this is important) so - what do you advise I go with here (on a budget?) What else to think of?

I'm in sunny Beaumont, Texas! (Houston area)

I'm planning to do a few underwater figure nude shoots this summer. I'm updating my list of models to contact when I have available dates, so send me a PM if you want on the list!

Thanks. I've added the banner to my profile and hope to get some more photos I can add to my portfolio next summer. The trick is finding the model who looks natural and comfortable underwater. And yes, there's a lot of inspirationall underwater pictures on this site.

Best of luck to you as well.
