It was about a Year ago, When I lost My original Nikon D100......
 

It Happened During the last Mallorca show. Fell in the water with it. Totally fried as soon as it hit the water. Thanks to the generosity of Lensman, who out of the goodness of his heart gave me the exact same model I had.:thumbsup And thanks to all of you who keep on looking at the pics :thumbsup More of Mallorca Comin up, I promise not to too near the water this time:winkwink:

Dude! Please learn how to use your camera strap!

I do know how to use it , and the camera was firmly attached to me , when I fell in the water........:1orglaugh

I can see how that could be a problem. Thats pretty sweet that Lensman just bought you a new camera!

for sure:thumbsup

Yes It is :thumbsup :thumbsup

Shit. I have a pool shoot on Sunday....

....all I am going to be thinking about is not falling in the water.....


:rasta

Very nice of Lens to do and glad we have you to take such great pics JFK ... you ROCK :thumbsup

Thanks You Floridian You:glugglug

I had read to keep a bottle of rubbing alcohol in your bag , that if your gear falls in water. Immediately pour the whole bottle of rubbing alcohol on it , the alcohol will get most of the water out of it.

learn something new everyday!

lol.. I remember that. That was a pretty nice thing for Lensman to do. :thumbsup

Tony the problem is when the camera hits the water all the electronics short circuit. NO Going Back. the only thing the Alcohol is going to do is to poison me after:winkwink: I called Nikon at the time and they told me its like throwing a plugged in tv into the bathtub:glugglug

Damn, I feel your pain FUBAR.... i'm glad lens hooked you up though...

I wish My S1 had the balls of that D...

Sooon though.... soon.

:thumbsup
