Underwater photo, The Beginning

Beberapa bulan belakangan ini saya sangat menggemari karya karya Elena Kalis, foto di dalam air memang selalu punya pesona sendiri karena refleksi dari permukaan, gravitasi yang seakan menghilang dan membuat objek tampak melayang.

These past few months I'm quite obsessed about Elena Kalis photos. Underwater photos always has its own charms. The water reflections, the non-gravity feeling and how the objects are simply floating.

Namun membuat foto underwater tidak semudah yang terlihat. Saya yang merasa cukup nyaman di air ternyata masih kesulitan untuk mendapatkan pose yang baik di kamera. Selain membiasakan diri membuka mata dengan nyaman di air terus menerus, air kolam yang keruh menyulitkan kami mendapatkan frame yang sesuai.

But making underwater photos isn't as easy as it may seems. I consider myself as a person who mostly feel comfortable underwater, but its still difficult for me to get a good pose for the camera underwater. Beside you gotta make yourself comfortable with your eyes open underwater, the murky pool makes it quite difficult to get appropriate frame.

  

And here's the result

Anyway, this is our first try together, must do better later :)
