"Flush?" Oy. ;-)

Jadzia... thanks again. And Paul... thanks for dropping in. I knew that someone thought I had a toilet fetish but I just couldn't remember who... I figured this shot would flush him out. :-) Don

Absolutely brilliant as well as funny.

Don, we've really been meaning to speak to you about this toilet fetish of your's ROFLMAO!!!

Thanks, everyone... I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Pops... here's the loo-down...

1. Shed any concerns about dignity.
2. Drain toilet bowl and dry completely.
3. Put a dry face towel in the botton to cushion the camera and allow positioning and holding of the camera (G2 to ceramic is not going to do it).
4. Flip the LCD viewfinder towards you.
5. Remove anything around you -- because the lens has to be at full wide-angle, you get everything in the photo (unfortunately, it's not so wide-angle that you get all of the toilet bowl, but that's life). The best I could manage was to leave the seat down and hold the seat cover in position for reference.
6. Have a mate who likes a colorful toilet brush.
7. Take a whole bunch of shots with your mouth closed, open, and tongue hanging out, as though you're demonstrating for a small child how to do it (toilet bowls aren't that bright).
8. Decide on open-mouthed, bug-eyed look.
9. Hold that look for 1 second at a time because not much light is coming in through the window.
10. Run around and put everything back the way it was before mate needs to use the facilities.

For the anonymous poster, my G2 still smells like roses because we keep a very tidy bowl, as you can see.

Cheers,

Don

Very funny and well done. By the way, I had stuck my G3 in the freezer, microwave, and oven, trying to get a similar shot, but none came out as nice as yours!

Do you do windows, too? You gotta love it!
Guest 31-Jan-2004 21:23
Don, I can't believe you're about to flush your G2! How did you do this?

Can't stop laughing.

LMAO!!!! I was thinking of something similar but it wouldn't have been anywhere near as good as yours!!
