Wet…
I was on the beach at 4.45am yesterday for a dawn shoot. The surf was probably around 4ft so quite rough and as is the way with the sea, every now and again, and in a very random way, a much larger series of waves would surge in. I know this about the sea of course, I’ve been wet any number of times before, but as the intrepid photographer that I am ;-) I’m always keen to get as close and as low to the surf as possible. I got wet again.
As I set my tripod down, preparing to take another series of shots and with my back turned to the beach while I exchanged a few words with fellow blogger Poppy, one of those much larger waves put in and appearance, soaking me to the waist.
With the wave trying to knock me off my feet, I managed to hang on to the camera and tripod and take a shot. I’m very glad my camera and lens are weather sealed and both came through the ordeal unharmed.
I’ll be posting more (if WordPress fix my feed) from an extraordinary week of photography I shared with fellow blogger, Poppytump, in the coming days and weeks. I’m still having real problems with WordPress so please bear with me…
