Epic Fail

First step of putting the camera in the water was perhaps the most nerve-wracking!

I got to put the underwater housing to the test yesterday with Sophie. Was SO much harder than I thought it would be! A few things:

1) The unit floats in the water, but even harder in a tiny plunge pool was staying down at the bottom to shoot looking up (I kept floating). I’m tempted to sink the camera to the bottom and just sit outside the pool and shoot remotely with my iPhone. Could work… maybe?!

2) I had the fountain on which in retrospect was a silly idea as it created a lot of bubbles in the water thus reducing image clarity.

3) Plunge pool is just too small, tight, not deep enough.

Will have to give it a better go next time!
