On
Wednesday, September 19'th, I had my
9'th outing of the season, where I finally had another on-camera dramatic submergence sink, thanks to me
solving the problem of things being warm enough to sink deep, but were too cool to get my hair wet, especially during cleanup!
I finally bought a latex swim cap at Wal-Mart (can't remember if I used it for my off-camera sink on my previous outing or not
), which kept my hair and most of my ears (except for the bottom of the ears) clean and dry!
However, because it was so late in the season, the lower sun and shorter days resulted in finicky lighting, and shadows moving over my area earlier than I had hoped.
I still did the best I could, and hope that I can correct for the poor picture quality of the original, which turned out looking like it was almost black and white, with high contrast (the photo taken from the same side was a bit lower than the height the video was shot from, and looked normal)!
I checked out a pond to the east of Crescent Road on the way up, which had liquid mud full of sticks, where I took a number of pix. I also explored a lake to the west of my Crescent Road pond, which I think was
Crescent Lake, the lake the road was named after, unless it was another lake further to the north.
But, I assume it was Crescent Lake, and also took a number of background pix there, as well as a video of my feet mushing up some clay which made interesting sounds, and also a short video for a lead-in to my main Crescent Road pond sink (I did 4 takes, to try to get the lead-in right). Anyways, here is the truckload of pix:
First, here are the pix from the pond with the liquid mud full of sticks, starting off with a cow skull, possibly a victim of the mud, which was then likely moved around by animals.
I am increasingly tempted to try out that mud some day, regardless of the sticks, because that mud seems to beckon to me!
But, for cleanup, I may have to sit on a log that sticks out into water deep enough for cleanup, since the entire shallow pond is surrounded by the mud:
