Stefan and Wendy Wedding Photo/Video and Prenup

I thought of doing something unique and not common so i took a risk in underwater prenup, grabbed an underwater DSLR case DICAPAC from Gizmo in Emall for 3.5k and with crossed fingers I loaded my Nikon D80 into the case. Stefan asked me if my camera is insured, I said no, with some worries showing in his face he muttered "scary".
I took this picture under bright midday sunlight in Bahia beach resort at just above waist level water in the kiddie pool since Wendy does not know how to swim. It was simple but not easy, just stick your eyes to the viewfinder of the D80 inside the case with transparent plastic in between your eyes and the viewfinder. With swimming goggles in my eyes and the transparent plastic case, my right eye was about at least 3 inches away from the viewfinder. I wish i had live view like the D90 but when then you would wish live view in D90 were much faster to focus. To get rid of focusing time underwater especially if the girl's (Wendy) lifespan underwater is only 5 seconds, I switch to manual focusing, autofocus first the distance before switching the lever to manual. So after about 30 plus trials and errors. We finally got 1 keeper.
