DIY submerging the thingy

my good friend and photographer Kristoffer Bjørn and his girl was on a visit, so what better thing to do than testing my newly created semi-submergable thingy. Kristoffer took these pictures as I slowly yet boldly pushed the thingy into the water.

It held tight, and still does, so it was a great success. Pictures will follow of what this can be used for.
And yes the thingy looks like shit, but if it does it's purpose and does it boldly, then I'm willing to accept that.

DIY submergable thingy

I made a semi-submergable casing for my Eos 40d. I have no remembrance of the total price for it all, but it sure wasn't as pebbery as the pro-submergable cabins.
Next step is to make a shape out of foam to keep the camera in place. But I think i'll test the thingy before finishing it off.
