Skim and Boogie WaterHousing Pics

[flskimboarder]

Ok so this is my first time using my water housing and if anybody knows how to get the specks of water off of it then let me know. But enjoy and I will try to get some better ones. Also the lighting for shooting was not the best. Was overcast, would have been alot better if it was sunny. The black ring is the water housing and would cut out to much of the pic if i cropped it. so thats why i left it.

rain-x it before every session

[Corey Hanks]

spit on it, then rub the spit all over then lens and then dunk it under the water then the water spots will go away, im almost finished with my waterhousing for my picture camera, did you buy your housing or make it yourself?

[flskimboarder]

bought mine. its just a bag that is like a super ziploc bag and then you roll that piece to velcro then velcro another piece. got it from ebay for 109.

[Shawn Kenny]

corey thought you already had one

[NoahHankinsonNZ]

navy seals did it with explosives

[flskimboarder]

wow really. i would never do that...what do you do when the condom breaks?

[Brian Kniveton]

nice... i want one bad.. it was only 109$??? did you get it used?

[jackie]

sick pics! ive always been too scared to use one of those ziplock style housings on my nice cam, but i guess it works!

[flskimboarder]

nice... i want one bad.. it was only 109$??? did you get it used?

no i got it on ebay. theres tons on there.

and yea i was a bit sketched out when i tryed it for the first time. i put paper in there though and then put it in the water and it came out dry so i put the cam in there and i've used it 3 different times and perfect.

[jackie]

if you get a chance, would you mind posting a pic of ur cam and the housing? i wanna see how you'd access the buttons and stuff.

seems to take really nice pictures. that one barrel shot is rad!

[rightfootfirst]

u can use apple juice on the housing lens if you run out of options

[vbskimva]

I saw that type of housing on ebay and I really didn't want to trust velcro straps to keep my camera water-free, but apparently it's more sealed than I thought. Worth the money?

I'd use one for my d40, but can you put a leash on it?

[Corey Hanks]

i just need to know how to make something so i can push the button thats not the least bit sketchy

[exiledpcb]

getting this bundle later this month

Sick shots +1

[Corey Hanks]

mm that bundle looks pretty good

[RexSkimmer]

i'm surprised the condom one produced a decent image. i'd think it would be opaque or something
