Break on through to the other side

My son has just completed his first lot of swimming lessons. These are his little feet, breaking through the waters surface.

Untouched photograph shot on 35mm with a disposable waterproof toy camera that I picked up for $6 in one of those cheapo shops.

I’m off to the coast for the long weekend, Happy Australia Day everyone, see you next week.

    Thanks so much margot, they are cute little feeties except growing at a rapid rate. Last pair of shoes only lasted 2 months before his toes were hanging over the edge and yes, a different take on first swimming lessons shots…...... I did of course gets some ‘standards’, don’t wont him thinking his mummy is strange, hehehe.

    Thanks so much Jules, I really didn’t think it would work. Most of the other shots are pretty bad but I’m taking a camera to the coast this weekend, can’t wait to get there. Happy Australia Day to you x

  • Kitsmumma replied

    Thanks so much Karen, couldn’t see a thing when I took it, hehehe.

  • Kitsmumma replied

    Great work K – a very surreal impression – this would probably make a great album cover.

  • Kitsmumma replied

    Thanks ADM, I thought it looked a little surreal too and yes, reminds me a of the Nirvana cover with the baby floating in the water, except mine is more…........... surreal!

    PS Only you can edit your own comments. Highlight them, copy them, delete the original, make a new reply window, paste the comments back in place, fix the typos, and post again. Simple, huh? LOLOL!

  • Kitsmumma replied

    hehehe, thanks so much Lenny, wouldn’t want to upset any Doors fans and as far as the comment thing goes aaaaahhh, it’s just too much, I’ll live with the typos, we’re only human after all.

    great shot, really great! and thanks billions for the tip about $6 waterproof cams! how cool is that!

  • Kitsmumma replied

    yep, pretty cool, I had to give it a go. The only thing is the processing but I just got them to put it all on a disc. Cost me $20.
    I’m taking one away to the coast this weekend, will see what happens, you can’t see anything through the viewfinder, truly shooting blind…...... and no, goggles didn’t help.
