underwater "day after"

[amykarp]

Instead of sweating in the Texas heat this summer, I started shooting underwater.....with brides and grooms.

What an awesome concept!! Love these, although I think the only difficulty would be getting facial expression looking relaxed. #3 looks like she's pulling it off pretty well though.

Definitely something I haven't seen yet.

thanks - it is not an easy task to hold your breath, pose and have a wedding dress on. The keepers are much less underwater than on dry land.

Interesting...TTD bridal all in one.

Without theyre different and #3 stands out for me.
#2 his feet looks 'weird'

Great idea and well executed!

What housing are you using for your camera?

[amykarp]

thanks - ikelite housings and different ports for different lenses.

Fun stuff!!!!

Awesome. How are you lighting them?

Seen this in a few senior and model shoots. Looks fun, but cost of a housing... ouch. You can rent them can't you?

I don't think that there are too many places that will rent a housing.
There are too many different ports for all the different lenses available, as well as the liability of it.
If a housing leaks, your camera is ruined. A rental shop may not want to have that lawsuit. It's your word against theirs if you cleaned the o-rings correctly, there were no grooves in them, a hair didn't fall across it as you were closing it up.....

I SCUBA Dive and have a camcorder housing, point and shoot with a housing and used to have a Nikonos. So I have a pretty good understanding if what it takes to make sure everything is cleaned properly.
I did have an o-ring leak on my SB-101 strobe for my Nikonos. Had to throw it away.

Amy,

If you are asking for CC on your photos then please limit your post to the 3 best images of your set. I am changing your thread from CC to NC until you've narrowed down your images.


Rule #3. Photo Quantity Limitations
Do not post more than 3 photos in a thread for critique. Choose your absolute best 3 shots of the series and post those. Posting more than 3 shots per thread will only hurt your chances of getting an honest critique since critiques do take time.

Wow. Some people have way too much time on their hands.
