There's a bit of a funny story behind this particular shot. In order to get to an even angle with the figure, I had to wade into the middle of the steam, squat down and place my camera an inch above the other -- not a comfortable position. Also, my bum was dipped in water half of the time, so for the rest of that morning I looked as if I crapped myself -- yay!

But the most interesting bit about the story was when my feet slipped. That was when I accidentally splashed water all over my camera in a panic. My camera was by no means weatherproofed, so I experienced a few moments of sheer terror as I scrambled to dry my dripping camera. Thankfully the camera proved to be resilient and lives to see another day.

I guess the moral of the story is "don't put your camera an inch above the water if you don't want it to end up as an expensive paperweight."
