Dry Camera but wet Feet

The tide was high and the waves were big so I took the camera, tripod and my ND Filter to the beach hoping for a fabulous slow motion wave shot. Well... the pictures were crap! So I turned up the shutter speed and put the camera low and shot blind. I never got the camera wet but a big wave did surprise me and fill my boots!! Hope everyone had a fabulous weekend!

Stunning shot!!!

[MaryElizR]

A wonderful shot! I think the same way..take my planned shots and then just let go with crazy ideas..which usually are better! When I go to the beach I usually take the old camera and a clear plastic baggie to cover it except for the lens opening...because I like to get down low and close also.
