Okay, why not? A camera set on a tripod in timer mode, and a stick with a broken off pencil and eraser attached to it at right angle (use stick to reach shutter button), and a lot of patience (Patience because it's difficult to time perfectly... Look at camera, wait for red light to glow solid, count, splash, repeat), and YOU TOO can take a self portrait like this! But would you want to? Oh well, what can I say?

FujiFilm FinePix S2 Pro

Hi Digitize. The Exif just lets you know if the on board flash was used or not. I actually set up a single studio flash for this.

exif says no flash used..

It is called experimentation or another term is bored. Anyway it is a great shot.

Very nice planning and execution here Paul. However, I do hope that your watch is water proof ;-)

WOW! Now there's a splash! Did you have a bit of cleaning up to do after this . .hope you had an underwater housing for the camera!! Good action (see! here's those lightnin' fast reflexes . . =))
Guest 28-Apr-2004 18:53
This is a great shot. I don't think I have the patience for it though! Where is the other pic of you in the water?!?! I want to see THAT one too! :)

Guest 28-Apr-2004 17:26
That guest was me...I don't know why I was a guest...I think it didn't recognise me...I got a hair cut. Maybe that's it! :-)

Great shot Paul.
True photographers have lots and lots of patience for that "perfect" shot.
You did it!

Great action shot, although it looks a little wet, and I think that big blob of water is heading straight for the camera! Certainly different.
Guest 28-Apr-2004 15:56
