A classic atmosphere that I like so much.It'a sweet shot and getting your feet wet was worth it.Bravo!
I wear Wellingtons and have yet to get wet feet when photographing waterfalls. I also have waist high waders but am a little scared about wading that deep into a river. Ken
You're supposed to have a waist belt on them which prevents most water to go in, at least not fast, giving you the possibility to recover.
As I am frequently in fast flowing streams getting in much above my knees would be asking for trouble. My other Welly wearing times are on the beach and waders could be very dangerous. I may buy knee length waterproof socks and water sandals and just get used to cold legs. Ken
