Don't Stand So Close to Me - perils of location shooting

A couple of weeks ago I headed out for a day of filming, with high winds picking up I decided to venture to the harbour. I was richly rewarded with large waves making for some rather dramatic scenes. Aberdeen's proximity and relationship to the North Sea is definitively a unique defining characteristic which I want to convey through the film.

My film was almost cut prematurely short in my enthusiasm to get closer to the waves resulting in a rather damp filmmaker and slightly moist camera courtesy of unexpectedly large crashing wave. The camera dried out and still seems to be working I can only assume no permanent damage has occurred, to the camera or me.

Below is an outtake of the waves hitting the harbour wall plus a bonus shot of my near drowning.
