Special exposure wordless wednesday
Or if that doesn’t work for you try this link “here” for the last days of “summer.”
p.s. have your ‘volume’ on medium, wouldn’t like to squirt your ear drums without a warning!
Alternatively, I do have a few words over here on “alien” completely free of spittle, or some other words over on “Sandwiched Genes.”
p.s. a few people have asked which camera we used so here is a link to it = the Sakar 26692 VGA underwater digital camera, sorry it’s commercial but there are no details on the camera itself and we recycled the packaging, don’t forget to read the ‘ratings’ bit. Although it does technically hold loads of photos if you want good resolution…..er……clear piccies then we used the setting that limits you to 26 photos. Don’t ask me anything more technical than that, I’m at my limit.
p.p.s I lied. On the camera it says ‘made in China.’

beautiful children…they are so free in the water, aren’t they?

How fun! Now if I could just get my son to put his entire head under the water.

I’d highly recommend ‘apple bobbing’ or anything else that floats just beneath the surface.
There again if lip / teeth closure is an issue and we all know that apples are vile in any case, you could try rubber duckies / any other floating bath toy.
Wetting the face with a flannel first can be beneficial, which sounds odd when 90% of you is already wet, but that seemed to help with the desensitization.
Squirters are fun for some, but the minority around here.
Nothing beats a concerted desensitization campaign of course but if goggles/ masks are off limits due to their smell, texture and elasticatedness, then your best bet is probably just time – at least that’s what happened around here.

Normally I don’t dance before noon, but your video music had me moving. No, it was not captured on film.
Love these underwater images. What camera did you use? You know I need camera info. It’s a sickness.

Love the composition of the pictures!
The Elder will put his head under water with his googles on. He has floaties on his arms so it’s hard for him to “dive”. The Younger doesn’t do much except cling to an adult… he’s not on the spectrum, but full of anxiety.
I am sure by next summer The Elder will be swimming (I hope)

Cool pictures. They look very at home under the water. Are you raising children or merpeople? We ask ourselves that question all summer :0)

That was great. I love the little water effect.

FANTASTIC! This is so fun and your kids look so at ease. Just curious…how did you happen across this commerical underwater camera? I’ve gotta get one of those! Wow.

That is really cool!

The music was so cheery — with your warning to turn the sound down, I was expecting something loud and obnoxious, like the “Under the Sea” song from The Little Mermaid.
Rats. Now that song’s stuck in my head.

That was so cool…how/what program did you use to make the video? I know it’s on youtube but did you have to put it together on another website first? I’m new to this slideshow/video making and looking for good programs/ideas. Thanks!
