Water. (I went on a shoot and got some decent stuff)

I wanted to try and get some cool pictures of our creek, so I put some shoes on, changed out of my shorts (into a different pair of shorts! no, just kidding), grabbed my camera and machete and went out. I was taking lot's of pictures trying not to get soaked, but then the inevitable happened: My foot slipped in. I figured, "shoot, I'm already wet; might as well get in and get some better shots". So yeah, just in case you ever wondered if it's smart to climb into a creek in December, I'll tell you that it's not. After three minutes, I could no longer feel my legs. But it was all worth it! I think I got some pretty sweet shots. But I'll let you decide for yourself.
Oh yes, I got my camera totally wet doing this, and it is not weather sealed: It is totally fine. So don't be afraid to be adventurous. Clareesa, I'm talking to you. :P

This is where the coolness begins.











My personal favorite:











If I were wearing my nice Danners, this would make a really cool picture for a magazine add:



Here I am after my adventure (nice and wet):



Arf!

I had so much trouble with this post for some reason. It was such a pain. The pictures are slightly cropped and are not as sharp as the full res ones are. Ah well, you get the picture.. (pun intended)

Best part of the whole post right there.

Machetes aside, I love the background on the moss-on-stick shot, and the color in the first few water shots.

:D
BTW, these were all hand held. I knew that my angles would be very limited if I used my tripod.

Great pics! I really like the water ones!!

Amazing amazingness! My faves are #6 and #12. Love that spiky-looking moss. And that cold crystal water...oh yeah.

BE the tripod. Mwahahah. I shot all my waterfall photos without a tripod.

Well, technically, I'm a Bipod. (unless I sit with my feet on the ground...)

Ok, Aubrey, random: Your avatar got me laughing so hard! Good old Cocoamo (I say it as if I know him...) lol Did you just get lucky with the yawn? Hilarious! XD

Hehehe...yeap, Cocoamo yawns a lot. Like...maybe too much. So...I decided to make a face and...well, I think it turned out ok :-)
He's my baby.
