(Day 246) - Making a Splash

As a photographer, sometimes you just gotta go with the flow...even literally! 💦

This shot was such a splash to create. I duct taped the hose to the side of our garage. Next, I set up an external flash not too far away to help freeze the motion.

Then, held CJ up by a stand and dipped him into the water. Lastly, edited the stand and my hand out in Photoshop.

Ran into a few hiccups here and there but eventually got the shot. See what I mean, gotta go with the flow! 💦
