Aug. 25, 04

Ok, trying to make a long story short, this is my favorite place to go on a hot day, which today was, it is Stony Brook, one can walk the creek and duck under waterfalls until they shrivel! I walked the creek with my friend and of course took pics, all kinds, then towards the end of our journey, as I was walking in ankle deep water, I took a step and next thing I know I am going under, the water was over my head, my camera and equipment took a swim with me. What a shock, it did not look like it got deep there. Sooooo, my C750 is in drying mode and hopefully will work, I was able to save the pics off the XD. Here are two other pics I liked, which do you prefer? this one or this one??

Olympus C-750UZ
1/8s f/4.0 at 6.3mm iso50 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

The layers of rock & how they show through the water is brilliant. Hope both you & your camera have survived the dunking Cindy.

I like this one, Cindy! It shows the natural grooves in the rock under the waterfall. (behind it) Hon, I am sorry you fell, but VERY glad you were not hurt. I do hope the camera will be 100% fine too. Shhhhhhhh, we won't tell your hubby. - Jan

All these images are wonderful, of course. But why didn't you get a picture as you fell into the water? Think what an amazing shot that might have been! Seriously, hope the camera is OK and glad you're alright as well. Good work here!

Cindy, this image is absolutely beautiful!

Cindy, I like this one and C but maybe C the most. I'm a sucker fo waterfalls and these are excellent. Good luck with the camera.

Oh no, Cindy! I hope the camera dries out okay. I've been pretty rough with my C-700 and C-730, so I know they're pretty rugged, but I'm not sure how seaworthy they are. I love your falls shots, as always.

I like this one and "c". They are both quite well done. And of course, you get the Virginia Coastline Award for dunking your camera. ;-)
