Close Call

This image documents a major leak in progress while I was on assignment for the Discovery Channel.  I'm sure there are a few reasons why it happened, but I will sum it up as slipping in the water without doing a final gear check. It could have been much worse.  As I submerged, I distinctly remember looking through the finder and seeing a very unique water line.  It caught my attention because I am a guy who has a developed appreciation for water lines.  A split second later this blissful creative thought matured into the realization that I was about to flood my 1DsMK3 and lens. In the end, I credit luck and the deck crew in equal parts for the fact that I am still shooting with this system.  And the huge surprise in all of this is that I came away with an image ... and an idea.
