April 14 - almost got me...

spent the long weekend in Bintan, beautiful beaches and a great place to relax

This was taken with a lens at 20mm so I was really close,
this wave nearly wiped out the camera, I managed to move away just in time my arm was soaked, luckily the camera wasn't!

Canon EOS 20D
1/1000s f/5.6 at 20.0mm iso400 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Well worth it for the shot...!!!

Excellent! This happened to me in Bali but the camera did get wet. Dried out fine and nothing seems spoiled though.

I was wondering where this was!! This is so cool. Seen plenty of wave shots but none this close! You've done this perfectly. Big vote

LOL but you got the shot - that's the important thing. :-)

Perfect timing Terri-both the shot and the getting away part. There is such a magic draw to the sea.
