Quicksand Fans

Hello Everyone,

I don't want to brag, but I think I'm in the top 5 best quicksand photographers in the whole world (I'd put Duncan at #1!!). Recently, I've been going through my work over the past decade - thousands and thousands...

....BUT, I haven't shot every possible scenario yet. And I want to shoot more this coming summer, SO, tell me, folks, what new scene/scenario should I aim for - what image is waiting to be born? Remember, I'm talking about photography here - not video. Don't give me your favorite custom scene, hoping I'll make a video out of it. What I'm aiming for here, is the single photo (like my avatar of Ludella - probably one of my best shots ever) that will make one's jaw drop - or that never before scene image...

Ideas...creativity...something new...I crave this!! Please help. Thanks.

How about... an underwater photo of a lady sinking into some underwater quicksand. Novel, but maybe not impossible?

Nice! I never thought of that. Do-able, too. I can imagine both a deeper water shot - like a damsel waist deep in mud, with her head and arms just above the surface of the water; and then a shot of her holding her breath in the water, with her chest deep in the quicksand/mud.

Or one could have a shallow layer of water - a few inches - above the quicksand. Then take that half in/half out of shot showing above and below the water level.

Thanks. Definitely something to aim for.

Some sort of industrial accident. They start pouring the cement when they shouldn't, for example. Warehouse worker has to wade through a vat of molasses to shut off a valve.

My suggestion would be to do some night work with extremely dramatic lighting, especially back-lighting.

My suggestion would be to do some MPVBleck work with extremely dramatic struggling, in especially thick MPVBleck.
