More optimal camera:

You are giving up too much technology just to gain a little waterproofing. Use some ziplocks or a cut out I.V. bag and get a Canon A640 class camera. You can program the delay to even a minute. I use 40 seconds. The camera has a flip out, turn around viewfinder, so you can see yourself and how good your fish looks before the shot. You can program two or three shots with a couple seconds delay between; and you can put all this setup into a specific "custom" setting so you're immediately set up with a turn of a dial to "c".

Makes photoing my fish fun, and it documents to the wife that I really am out there...fishing!

If your camera has a "Face Blot Out" function, I'd suggest you turn that on too.

LOL George you crack my up. Now I remember that sauerkraut guy. Did I meet him at your house the day I was there last year. He kind of looks like the gentleman I met. I also like the zip lock technique.

Focus Issues

Focus is certainly an issue with night photos; however, specific to this Attached picture...this pic has to be dumbed down to 800x800. Also, I'm not really too tech savvy bringing a picture off my camera, into my computer, and then projecting it onto the your through the site. But the camera does a good job. Besides, ex-ally Numby suggests that the camera doesn't like my face!

And even out of focus, the pic is passes muster as a wife document.
