\"2013-10-03_swamp-a1\"<\/a>The tide wasn’t as low as I would have hoped, today, but it was low enough to expose some really thick mud for about an hour. I exploited that window of opportunity and got very muddy!<\/p>\n

The first image (top left) is the setup for the movie I shot. Here you see an exhausted swimmer(?) approaching high ground to take a break. Little does he know, he is heading for quicksand.<\/p>\n

\"2013-10-03_headstand\"<\/a>After shooting the movie, I had a few minutes left to play in the mud. The image on the right shows me, doing a headstand in the mud. I could have used a wider camera angle, but this happens sometimes when there is no camera operator.<\/p>\n

\"2013-10-03_sliding\"<\/a>The last image I’m including in this blog entry is the final shot, where I tried to capture some cleanup action.

By the way, the weather has been warm and sunny this week. You couldn’t ask for better weather for getting muddy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
