Sierra Blues
Uploaded: October 07, 2008
This was taken on a trip to the Sierras to see some fall color. This was taken while exploring and looking for fall color near North Lake. I lost my 5D camera to the ocean at Bean Hollow as a rogue wave hit me so hard it knocked me into the ocean and about 10 feet down. A second wave crashed me back onto the rocks and cut me up pretty badly. Needless to say I lost my camera, lens, and bag to the ocean. Ed was nice enough to lend me his backup Nikon D200 for the rest of the trip
Exif: F Number: 16, ISO: 100, FocalLength: 12.00 mm, Model: NIKON D200

Excellent exposure. Lighting and colors are superb!I'm really sorry to hear about your accident. I've been to Bean Hollow but I never realized waves there can be so violent. Hope you are recovering from your injury. And I'm really sorry about losing your 5D. That's a big loss. I hope you can get a replacement soon. #6676180
