The day I got very WET!

Long exposure of sea at Polzeath. This is where I got soaked when a huge wave went up my waterproof trousers and over the top of my knee high wellies and promptly filled them. I couldn't run as I had to hold onto my tripod and camera as the sea tried to drag us back to where it came from. I live to photograph another day

Wow such an image full of atmosphere!! Who knew what drama was infolding as you took this shot! You were very lucky - the sea is so dangerous!! Wonderful result though!

[Joan Robillard]

Sudden large or rogue waves are why they ask people not to go on the rocks or the beach during big storms. Glad you did have an accident with your camera as I am sure your Wellies dried out better than the camera would have.

Great story awesome edit

[Casablanca]

Oh my goodness! What a shock that must have been. Glad you lived to tell the tale and your camera a tripod survived too! Beautiful image

[Rob Z]

How very marvellous - the long exposure has produced a slightly abstract feel. :)

Amazing shot... love the moody feel of it.

[Joanne Diochon]

Close call but great photo. Well worth it I guess since both you and your equipment lived to photograph another day. Still a warning about taking chances.

Beautiful - and I can picture your predicament - the long exposure is beautiful - glad all worked out safely - if for some very wet feet.
