The Vitamin D Diaries Episode 26 - Big Day @ Bombo

Honestly think this is the best episode of the Vitamin D Diaries thus far, but it came at quite a financial cost. Towards the end of the day, as I was preparing to leave, a massive rogue wave hit me square on the head, soaked me to the skin and hit my poor old Fujifilm X-T4 and XF10-24mm lens full on. The lens aperture ring stopped working immediately (as it's not weather sealed) and while the X-T4 is weather-sealed, salt-water found a way in via the front (aperture) dial. So both are toast and an insurance claim has gone in which will hopefully cover both. Fortunately all my photos and videos were safe on the card, so I'm thankful for that and I really like this footage - hope you do too. :)

Superb! Excellent choice of music as well. 😮👍

Thanks Stephen - it's always hard to pick the music but when I heard this with its piratey undertones I thought it fit quite well :)

Thanks mate - funnily enough that was the scene of the crime! Wave came over that rock on the right.

Outstanding and mesmerising, takes my breath away! Fantastic vid, but those rogue waves can be killers. Just WOW and TY!
