Thanks for the follow up. A poignant end to a good story.
You are a class act!
We look forward to seeing some of those D600 images.

Nice picture with the D600. Seems like it was meant for you.
Steve, I think you touched a nerve! Let's get her the "floaties" anyway. You never know. Now watch me be the first one "in the drink" this year after shootin' my mouth off.

Gentlemen,
Most thoughtful of you, but I'm sure a waterproof housing for her D600 would be more appreciated.... 8-)

Does the Ugly Hedgehog give out an annual blooper award? If so, put my name into the hat. The sun was setting yesterday on dock one at the Austin Yacht Club, a perfect setting for a photo shoot (yes, paid) of a lovely woman, who had spent much of the afternoon having her makeup professionally applied. She was perched on the toe rail of the raised 30' sailboat, Warrior, and I had the perfect shot ... except for the distant masts sticking out of her head. I moved one step to the left and SPLASH, I plunged into the water with my Nikon D90, flash, and my "nifty 50." I crawled out, stunned, onto the breezy dock, sopping wet in my blue jeans, fleece vest and sneakers. Thankfully, the security man offered his giant robe as a substitute. The camera was dry inside, but the battery and disc were wet. I was only able to retrieve 9 of the 50 or so photos from the disc. Everything is sealed inside a Tupperware, opened, resting on a bed of rice that is partially covered with a single sheet of paper towel. I was only able to retrieve 9 of the 50 or so photos from the disc and the rest were "corrupted." I tossed and turned in bed last night. The epiphany came around 2 a.m. I lost my dignity, possibly my camera, a flash and some good shots, but there are many folks on our coastlines who have lost everything in a sea of salt water. I went to sleep. Slept like a cat in front of a roaring fire.
