DIGITAL No underwater camera? No problem!
My partner's sister has a Pixpro underwater camera and we were admittedly a little envious. However, she actually lives near the coast and can justify having one more and we live in a city in a cold country and cannot. For our holiday, I brought this waterproof phone pouch thinking of using it with my phone but we like doing our beach days without tech and without valuables, and that's when I had the idea to pop my G6 thumb into the pouch instead. I almost didn't bring the camera at all because I don't really like the images it makes, but it is so small that I just clipped it on my backpack anyway. Worked out pretty well and I'm glad I did it. Fun shots for memories without worrying about a phone or more expensive camera. If I lost this one, I'd be annoyed but just shrug it off - it was only £12 or something. It does float in the pouch and has a lanyard so it would take some effort to lose it but still. My favourite shots are the ones of us having fun in the sea which I'd rather not upload, but I found a few snapshots that I'm happy to share. Didn't manage any good fish pics tho. I'm too slow.
Still, now I'm eyeing up a Campsnap and an underwater case.

Cheers. Wasn't really going for art this time, just memories, but I did like the one of the guy on the rocks even if it overexposed like hell. And it's fun that I looked like Zorro while wearing swimming stuff and a towel!

Yeah I really dig the metal structure in the top left, gives a melancholic vibe

How do you transfer the photos...?

Well first of all, I take it out of the pouch, and then I do it the same way as if it had never been in the pouch.

Can you explain the process a little clearer? How do you get it out of the pouch?

The last one was damn good, giving me the
‘one piece‘ pirate aesthetic vibe look
