Honey I Love You, But You Smell Like Tiger Balm

Jan 30, 2011


My adventures in the water yesterday was so much fun I'm going back today.

"What about the photos from yesterday, any keepers?"

Well, let's just say that the 15mm fish-eye has a 180 degree view, meaning it captures an angle of view that is really wide! So, there is a lot of vignetting in all the photos when the camera was in the waterproof case.

This I expected. What I didn't expect was how most of the photos looked as if I were shooting from inside of a front-load washing machine.

Yeah, that barrel look from inside the waterproof case.

 

Shooting at 1/2000 did produce a nice stop action effect!

That's OK, the case worked perfectly for what it was designed for: keep the water out, which it did flawlessly.

Next time I'll use a different lens, maybe the Canon 24-70mm f/2.8L which will fit nicely in the extended barrel.

Meanwhile, I re-learned how to play in the water, this time with a camera strapped to me.

And, I didn't drown!
My wife, Ashara appreciates that.

Same here!

There was one minor injury however. Later in the day I noticed my right thigh was hurting, the pain fairly intense.
Must have pulled the muscles while filming in the water. Maybe I injured it when I bumped into one of the [unseen] rocks underwater.

No worries, just schmear on the pain relieving balm and all will be good.

Ever use any of that stuff? Works well for minor aches and pain. It took the edge off a bit, but this injury felt deep and it spread around to my butt as the day wore on. 

OUCH!

I couldn't sit or lay down comfortably. The pain kept me awake most of the night. I even moved to another bedroom just so I wouldn't disturb Ashara's sleep.
 

Man, this really hurts!

Now, if I can just crawl to beach…
