This was my first day of testing new water housing. I had just gotten back
from work and we went to the lake. I wasn’t even expecting the testing to produce so many great shots.

Time was perfect; almost twilight. The water was freezing cold, but that doesn’t really stop me. When I was reviewing the shots I kinda put that one away since I was trying hard to get the “trick shot,” but then once I got back I realized that I had caught a pretty good moment up there. I think Brett’s B&W shot from a past Standerd inspired me and I decided to keep it. I ended up printing in large format and putting it on the wall in my room. Sometimes a photo is not all about quality, proper composition, right focus and aperture. It’s about the feeling it conveys. An accidental shot can give much more of this. Guess that was it.
