The Swimmer

incredible water capture!! :D

Strobists:
1 x elinchrom D-Lite 4 with softbox shot through shower curtain.

The Swimmer...Not much to say about this one. Just an idea I got. I felt like going for a swim today but knew I wouldn't get around to it...that & I don't have any access to a swimming pool - so the shower just had to do.
A very delicate procedure preventing my camera from going for a "swim" as well. I like the idea though & I might experiment with this a bit more in future. I'm not 100% sold on the the processing, but maybe it'll grow on me.

1. Plastic bag over the camera with the closed end over the lens.
2. Secure lens hood over plastic bag.
3. Cut hole out of bottom of bag to reveal lens.
4. fold back the edges & tape back.
5. shower carefully.
