 That was tough. Never thought how much water could fit in my sinuses this way (despite being a regular swimmer)

Well, the score certainly does not justify the suffering:-)
It really sucked to be face-up under the water. My wife released the shutter (used a medicine ball to prefocus in the tub while camera on tripod in upside-down position; legs over the borders of the tub). Originally planned to use flash as strobe to 'freeze' the bubble but I just couldn't find my flash stand and anyway didn't have time to figure out if my camera could control my SB-800 flash from the distance needed without popping up the built-in one. (I mean I didn't need this feature before). Finally a single 200W bulb with umbrella as light source.
