To do this, you need to build a floating tent. The tent should float, and the photographer should walk in it being waist-deep in water. For long-term stay in the water, even in the southern latitudes (south of Kazakhstan) and in the warmest month (August), waders are needed. The waders this is the most important thing in this enterprise: I decided that if I find the waders, then we can move on to the next stage of the program. Oddly enough, I found waders on my first trip to the central Chimkent market. There was even a choice of cheaper-more expensive. I even saw a Soviet OZK in several places. I bought Chinese ones for 12000 tenge (36 US $). Then I saw Belarusian ones in a hunting shop for 17,000 tenge (51 US $). They seemed thicker. This is important: the thicker the foamed rubber of the waders, the warmer they are. Looking ahead, I’ll say that I put on trousers and woolen socks (July 27) and it was not hot. There was even an unpleasant coolness in the lumbar region (above the leggings). You need to come up with something in the form of a wide woolen belt.
So, having bought waders, I began to think about a floating vehicle. The choice was between Styrofoam and plastic canisters. I did not find a dense foam that would not crumble. I settled on canisters. I bought 6  second-hand twenty-liter cans of diesel oil (500 tenge each - 1.5 US_cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b-136 each) 8 From above I washed (wiped off with toilet paper) their gasoline. As it turned out, four were enough (displacement 80 kg). I thought for a long time how to fix it “to the table”. In the end, just tied with a tie wire (in place).
