O.K. Lets get away from the booze and get out for some fun in the sun! I shot this yesterday at the Thousand Oaks High School swim meet. As I was trying to get an interesting angle on one of the starts, I noticed the guy on the platform was the son some friends of ours who have sent me a lot of work over the past few years. I used a super wide angle lens and pre-focused on him, got down on my knees ( which I often do but thats another story ) and held the camera about four inches off the water and pointed up toward him. At this point I wasn't looking through the camera but with the super wide lens I knew I'd get a shot, I just didn't know if it would be composed correctly. I pulled the trigger about a second before the gun sounded then yanked the camera away from the water so it wouldn't get wet.
I came away with a pretty decent image and did a bit of Photoshop magic with it. I actually like the original just fine but had to mess with it a bit as to make it look super cool! I posted the original here with the photoshop version.
Stay thirsty my friends...
