Here are another picture of the very nice cascades near Soubey (Jura, Switzerland). With all the snow melting above, in the Franches-Montagnes, it was a real flood.
As you can see on this shot, the framing is rather unperfect : the left side is kind of messy and blurry, there's this perspective in the upper right corner that could have been intensified. Moreover, it's not totally at horizon level : all I had to do was to go a little lower with the tripod rotate the camera. That was my first plan.
The problem was : I wore shitty shoes and I stood upon a slippery rock covered with moss. What had to happen happened : I slipped, the tripod slipped and my 100D fall directly in the water in a very nice "sloosh".
Fortunately, it remained in the water less than 5 seconds and the screen was still showing this picture when I removed the battery. It is now in a kilogramme of long grain USA parboiled rice, and will stay there until tomorrow evening. I hope it will manage to dry it completely. I have some hope to save it ...
However, saving the lens would probably be a miracle, but I try anyway with the same trick ... Now I just have to wait, pray and see ...
So I am happy to show you this very last shot of my (maybe) dead buddy. I hope I did not became a photographer without a camera ...

This picture was explored on the 2nd of March 2016 ! Thank you really much for your kind messages !
And now : the end of the story : I tried the camera this morning. The body seem to work perfectly fine. The lens AF and stabilizer work as well, but there's some dirt on the lenses inside, so I'll probably have to make it clean. Then, it's always possible to have some rust on electronic components. I'll see in the future.
So the rice trick works, but I definitely think that what saved my camera is the fact that I removed the battery very quickly. What you don't want is some short-circuits on electronic components that heat and burn after a few seconds (they are small, so it can happen really fast). Without electrical power, much less risk to get damages.
Thank you anyway for your support !

Just as iron rusts from disuse...
even so does inaction spoil the intellect.

Taken for the Macro Mondays theme of "rust" I couldn't believe how hard it would be to find something rusty in my house!

I bought most of these tools over 50 years ago, and many were already well used when I bought them, so they've definitely earned their rust.

This is a close-up photo of rust on an iron panel on the wharf at Port Maitland Beach. The amazing textures are best seen full screen in Slideshow.
One of my favorite old trucks under a gorgeous Wisconsin sky a few years back. This old truck was recently purchased and is being restored into a rat rod. I think I would rather it stay just like this....
Wishing everyone a wonderful Memorial Day!
