I often wear my Speedo swimsuit when I am heading out to the swamp. Generally, if I’m shooting a video, I change into something different; just to mix things up a bit. Lately, I haven’t really been inspired to shoot video as much as just get out and enjoy the mud. I still have at least 7 videos that need to be edited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, on July 25, I went out to the swamp to catch a late day low tide. I assumed I wouldn’t have much time and that I’d be leaving very close to sunset, so I just unpacked some gear, shot some short bits with the action-cam on a selfie-stick, then put the action-cam on a tripod and set about having some fun in the mud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I ended up with over 30 minutes of video, but it’s not all that interesting. The pictures on this post are frames from the video. I’m not sure if the video will ever be published, but I can see assembling a few sections of it for a video short when I run out of other things to edit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As it turned out, I got carried away in the mud and the sun set while I was still up to my ears in it. I had to hustle to get my gear packed, get cleaned up, and paddle back to my car before it got too dark. It’s generally ill advised to be swimming in alligator infested waters at dusk, but sometimes you just have to roll the dice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
