Hey guys,
So I'm looking to do a project on streams, running water, and all that jazz and I've come to the conclusion that I need to get the camera underwater to do this project properly.
The streams and junk are shallow and I'm not looking for total submersion here, just getting the lens underwater. I've also given up on focussing and composing really accurately, I'm going to try the string trick.
So I"m looking for any ideas anyone has on constructing some sort of semi-enclosed thingamabob that will protect my camera (<a href="http://www.thalmann.com/largeformat/anba.htm" target="new">anba ikeda</a>) from, you know, getting wet while the lens is halfway underwater.
My thoughts were some sort of plexiglass box with some sort of filter in the front panel but I'm not sure how I would seal that. The top would probably be open so I could hit the shutter and stuff.
Also, if this is a stupid idea, let me know before I get too far.
