So last night I went to the school pool to shoot a kayak roll session. I had heard about a underwater window that might be fun to shoot through. Sure enough, I was shown into a room that stated "restricted access" on the door, climbed over a chain, down a metal latter, and into the dark. My phone was the only light and it was PITCH black down there. I had taken off my shoes and rolled up my jeans because someone said there was water down there. Sure enough there was about 1" to 2" of some unknown liquid/rocks/mud/rat bones?/nastiness on the ground as I went around a dark corner. Sure enough there was a portal to shoot through. It was so humid down there my 50mm fogged up a lot. In the end, all I could get was this:
For the first time, I felt like I was actually heading in the direction of photography I wanted. That little sense of adventure kicked in and it was siiiiick. Plus, there was a Coors Light cap down there meaning somebody had been down there getting crunk. Back above water I was shooting with my new 383 Super for the first time. I struggled, but managed and got some good practice. Nevertheless, I was not impressed with the shots I got that night.
