VIK

Vik beach. One of icelands other extra-ordinary beaches. Black sand, and thouroughly dangerous waves. These waves will catch you out. There were three of us shooting on this beach and all three got thoroughly soaked. I got soaked twice, the second more dangerous for me and my camera.

Rule number 234: Never, never, never cross a rives that runs into the sea, no matter how shallow it looks...

I had my wellys and as i crossed the river on the beach, (Tripod in hand, camera attached to the tripod) Running as the waves were withdrawing, i began to sink into quick sand which engulfed me and my boots, and hence falling forwards, all i could see was my camera submerged in the vicious water. I dont know how but i put my left had out and managed to break the fall of the camera into the see by replacing it by the left side of my body. My 'friend' on the side of the river ran towards me to help, but then stopped and decided to take a photograph instead..I taught him everything he knows...

 

Enjoy your day, and thanks for the visit.
