How did you do shot #33, the one of you drowning?
That shot sucked hard. Had the flash set at the end of the tub. I was afraid that it would reflect off the water funny but that wasn't the case. I used a floating shampoo bottle to get the focus when The water was only half way up. Using some plastic I tore from a Ziploc bag I was able to clog up the overfill drain so I could get the water as high as I needed it. I was able to reach the camera easy enough from where I was. The only real problem I had was when I submerged myself. Because my mouth was open so wide I wasn't able to block off my nasal cavity. Every time I came up I blew out a good pint of water before the next shot. I felt like crap forever after this. Had a real bad taste in my mouth ? nose ? As far as editing the original shot wasn't so bad but it was really plain and missing something. We took the elliptical selection tool and hitting select inverse we messed with the contrast to make the tiles look nasty. I'm really happy with the results and think the whole thing was worth it.
