On my birthday in January we walked along the coastline of the city of Santa Cruz. I positioned myself on a big rock to witness the sunset. I got very close to the edge of the rock, expecting and fearing some water gushes from big waves coming in. Just in case I had the cheap kit lens on the camera. And bam it came. I got wet, but I could protect the camera from the salt water with my body. This is the second try with a lot of water; I posted the first trial earlier.

 

I processed a balanced HDR photo from a single underexposed RAW exposure. The RAW file enabled me to fix the lights using the curve function. RAW images have a much higher dynamic range, over 12 f-stops at 100 ISO with the sensor I use (the lower the ISO, the higher the f-stops.)
