Wow, this is a beautiful picture... so you were actually brave enough to trust a plastic bag to keep the water away from your camera?

I actually triple bagged it, and put silica packets in each bag to for the humidity. I made sure that no water was getting in. The only part of the camera that was toucing the water was the UV filter. I did many "tests" before the actual shoot, and I was using my old backup DSLR. (:

Im shocked you managed to get such a clear shot through three plastic bags!

I love it.

I actually wasn't shooting through three ziplock bags. I cut a hole in each bag, a hole just a tad smaller than the size of my UV filter, then I screwed on the filter with the bag in between the threads of the lens and filter; but since I cut that hole, there's no plastic over the lens' glass. Then I tape over everything. It's really hard to explain through words, but actually pretty simple to do.

since we can't compete with martyred saints,
we'll douse ourselves in gasoline
and hang our bodies from the lampposts
so that our shadows turn into bright lights

That's such an awesome picture! And great job keeping your camera intact, haha.

Underwater pictures are so rare, but I love them. Must've taken a lot of guts to get that camera wet. I probably couldn't be so brave!

The kiss hard, raw. Robin could feel his barely leashed control mirrored in the furious thrusts of the other man’s tongue. They both wanted more, releasing their frustrations in a harsh French kiss...
