Wintry Water Self Portrait
Picture this!
It’s a fine wintry February day, the ground and cars are frozen over in the morning. Then there’s me standing out the back garden with nothing but shorts on.
Some say Stupid, I say fun
Some say lunatic, I say adventurous
Some say brrr, it’s cold!! – I say it’s worth it
It’s all in the name of a great photo. This is the first shot from this batch, I hope to get out the back sometime this weekend to retake the shot, this time I won’t leave till I get the exact shot I have in my head!!! Water isn’t the easiest to work with, I tried tempting it with chocolate and sweets but it was having none of it.
Anybody have any suggestions on how to get water to play nice?

Kyle, three words for you:
“great shot” and “mental”

Great shot Kyle. I tried something like this before but never got the result I had in my head. How did you trigger the camera? I’d imagine it would be very tricky to get the timing perfect.

Thanks a bunch Jennifer!
Ahh I know the feeling Kev, I tried this about 6months ago and wasn’t happy with any of the shots. I’ll be trying this for a few hours if I have to this weekend to get it EXACTLY right. The camera was triggered using a cheap Ebay remote and on burst. It’s still dang tough to get it exactly right though!
