I tried my first take at some photos with me emerged in water which is something I have wanted to do but been hesitant for a variety of reasons.   One, I don't really like getting into pools, ponds, etc. especially with cloths on and I struggle to ask models to do things I don't like to do.  I do have the image of Shelly in the lake with water half way up her legs but I am talking about laying in water or going under the water.  I have all of these ideas and I need to figure out how to execute them.

The first step is trying.   So without a pool, on a work night, I used the tub to see what the results would be of a head shot of me in the tub with the camera on a tripod pointing down.  I did not end up with what I wanted.  Most of my photos were just blobs because the humid warm bathroom air ended up fogging up my lens too much.  So I edited one photo that was not too fogged up.  It still needed a lot of work as there was barely any contrast given the fogging had started.

Here they are.  I will work on this.  As with each new skill there is a learning process.  I still have my photos in ponds I want to do.  But if I'm not even comfortable in my own bathroom, I have some work to do first.  Here is the image in color and black and white.  It's not what I was originally going for and the underwater aspect is not as obvious as my initial goal but I still feel they turned out interesting.
