During my trip to Isla Isabel I went alone to a beach with bigger waves, right before sunset
#1 I'm standing on a slippery rock
The waves kept a good distance, but I could see wet floor and water puddles all around me, if a bigger wave came I couldn't move fast, so I went to safer ground
#2 The rock I was standing on is the one on the foreground, only 1m away, the floor over here is wet but not slippery , if needed I can move fast
#3 oops
I was chimping and hit the shutter again without realizing the size of the wave coming to me, it soaked my right side , all the way to my underwear, I had a towel with me to dry the mist form the lens, it was useful to dry the camera body and lens
I was using the nex5n with the f-mount adater and the tokina 11-16, eveything kept working fine :thumbsup:
I guess not much water hit the camera, using the adapter it is not really that well fitting an certainly doesn't have a gasket, I was expecting to find some water inside the camera but luckily there was none.
It took me a longer time to clean the tripod from dry salt
When shooting in risky areas I think is a good idea to bring a buddy to watch for you while you are fiddling with the camera
