Aloha!
This from my shoot yesterday...I thought this was a great little spot to get some shots. Well this was my second shot from this spot. As you can see it's quite an explosive little wave..a little too explosive. This one got me good...and my camera, and my clothes, etc. Needless to say that was the end of the photo shoot. Luckily, I was prepared and dried everything off in a hurry..had a lot of cleaning when I got home also. But all is well, no damage just to the ego. Sometimes you get caught up in the moment and forget where you are..as in this case. Live and learn...
Thanks for you comments on my previous stuff, have a great week everyone! Aloha!
