Over the shoulder

An abandoned ship near Cozumel

An abandoned ship near Cozumel

This is something that you just don’t do that easily with a digital SLR.  Last summer, on a cruise in the Caribbean, near Cozumel: we took a short ride to & from Paradise Island on a “twister” boat.  It was fast, and cool (look for the yellow boats – those guys work hard to give you some fun!).  On the way back, whipped the full setup (camera and case) and took a pic over my shoulder.

No aiming, no composition.  Just a lucky shot.  Turned out to be one of the best pics of the day.

No fear of salt water

A view from the ocean.

A view from the ocean.

The beautiful thing about having the full case and camera package is the lack of fear.  Here we have a mid-November afternoon, where I’m standing about 20 ft out.  I’m about mid-thigh in the water, with occasional waves up to my waist.  I wouldn’t be taking this picture with a DSLR. It’s well over a grand for the case on one of those guys, and walking in this without a waterproof case?  Insane.
