   That is killer. With the frozen progression of the water and the reflected sunset off to the left and the silhouettes. That’s really great.

   Do you have a waterproof case for your camera? Or were you just movingveryfast? (:

   I moved very fast and still got a small splash of sea water on the camera! I wiped it off immediately so hopefully there’s no permanent damage. I’ll use a zoom next time!
   I took photos of pebbles, sea shells and flotsam after that..

   You’d be surprised how resilient cameras are. My first half-decent one was a Canon 300N. (Got nicked in a nightclub in LA when I was chatting up one of my sister’s mates at a wedding)

   It took manys the salt-water beating and kept on going for a long, long time. Even when the screws were rusted on the outside, it’s heart kept beating on the inside. (See some of the results at http://community.webshots.com/user/markhamnolan)

   I suppose Digital cameras aren’t the same in that regard, though….

   Excellent pic, Donncha!

   I wish I had more time to practice my photography. What I really wish is that we could afford a second digital camera. Then I could keep one with me in the car all the time, and maybe do some occassional lunch-time photo drives.

   Thanks Dougal! I bring my camera everywhere with me, and if it’s going out at night to a pub or a concert I’ll usually have my FZ5 along.
   Why not have the camera packed in a bag ready in the morning when you leave for work?

   Because my wife gets mad when she can’t find the camera

   Just to echo the positive comments above: That’s a stunning picture. Very professional looking and would be well worth printing for an exhibition.

   Thanks Anthony! It was risky taking it but I think it was worth it!
