Gave the sub a bath...

Decided to give my sub a bath, no soap, just water. It's water proof right?


How about add some impact?


This bath took real long - 15 minutes only got one good crown shot...

Thanks for watching

Great shots, especially the 2nd one. It doesn't look very waterproof in the first pic. It looks like the air is bubbling out of it. Nice job.

Thanks guys!
Nikon D90 with 105mm F2.8 micro lens, mounted on tripod, with a SB600 speedlite on approx 3 o'clock, ISO200, manual mode at F8, D90's builtin flash in commander mode, SB600 sync'ed to the main flash and shutter at 1/200 second (the flash will light up much shorter like 1/2000s so it's ok). No other substantial light in the bathroom. Remote control ML-L3 used.
Took approx 150 attempts to get the money shot.
