My only excuse is the faceplate effects the mask has added to the old clock ;)
By dint of the lighting angle, you can also see the intraocular lens implant (made by Alcon, Inc.) and no, they still do not make zoom lenses... :)

Behind The Lens
Location
The photo was made in the Lake Ohrid, not 100 meters from the house, during one of my regular snorkeling swims.Time
It was july 2014, quite a way back. And it must have been around noon... the Exif is not available any more, so that's the most precise time I can add.Lighting
Automatically chosen settings were: Aperture f/2.8, ISO 125, and Shutter 1/200... on a sunny day right under the lake surface. Practically daylight in any sense! But this interesting lighting angle can reveal the intraocular lens implant, usually hard to notice.Equipment
Canon PowerShot D10 was the camera in the hand, used one-handed, reversed.Inspiration
Always wondered how the fish see me... so I took this rare selfie! :)Editing
The shot was zoomed-in and cropped during post-processing, to get at the frame I wanted. Nothing special.In my camera bag
For decades already I find it easier to carry a photo vest than any photo bag to take along whatever I want or need for my photo session, walk or trip. My photo bags usually stay home or in the car to keep the equipment I'm not using at the moment. My tripod has its permanent place in the car. The vest pockets usually contain two cameras, one of those is always waterproof. Sometimes I'll carry a small action camera, mainly for its wide field of view and resistance to water and weather. Other pockets keep the spare batteries, ND and CPL filters, and one small camera clamp which can be fixed to anything around, and in many cases can replace a tripod. The vest has pockets for longer lenses that usually hold a small water bottle, a sandwich, or a bar of chocolate - if I plan on being out for the whole day. I always pack about three meters length of paracord or similar strong, thin rope, one hefty pocket knife, and a lighter. Much can be improvised with these, so that's all I need. Recently I made it even easier, and take the essentials along in a waist pouch; a variable-volume McKinley. Simplicity and comfort are two best qualities for me in the Outdoors!Feedback
Not really. Experiment and see what happens - like with every other photo theme! Main thing, enjoy! :)
