Almost lost my Pam 1B this week !!!

Was of for a little trip to Bornholm this week - it was meant as a trip with some nice walks and having some nice food. But the storm hit hard on Bornholm - so hard that ferries was cancelled, and taking a walk along to seaside meant a risk of getting Really wet.
Bornholm is the only place in Denmark where there is rocks so I tried to get some shoots with that in.
But I did make some quick photos of my Pam 1B. And the was lucky that the watch did not get sweet back into the ocean as there came one "mother fuc.." wave as seen on one of the pictures....

It was a close call - but hey - live life and enjoy it.

Then the almost fatal photo (for the watch) - but it survived.





The some handshoots of the watch in different scenarios.

Close call. I would use a fishing line attached to the watch for those shots....just to be on the safe side. Glad you still have it. Great photos by the way.
