Who else flinched when he dropped his camera?

I was born and raised in Hillsboro, OR and every Summer, my Dad would take us camping up and down the Coast but, we never once stopped at Seal Rock. When my wife and I went on our Honeymoon in Newport, we stopped at every State Park we could and when we stopped at Seal Rock at about 8:30am and walked up the trail, it opened up to the most beautiful scene there!  The Sun had just reached up over the hills behind us and cast an orange glow onto the rocks. We only had a small camera but, the pictures were fantastic! On my next visit, I will make sure to have a panoramic camera because THAT shot will be phenomenal!

11 o'clock in the afternoon? Doesn't Afternoon mean AFTER noon? Haha just giving you a hard time. Keep up the awesome work, you are my photography idol! Hope your camera wakes up!!!

I nominate this for video of the year award

3 years later still wondering what happens to that camera. Strongest cliff hanger ... Any updates Nick my therapist says I haven’t emotionally recovered from seeing that drop

I did 25 days on the Or coast this past fall. Brings back great memories.

Sorry about the camera! Thanks for putting these together, made my day as I sit here under yet another round of Spring thundershowers and rain.

the photo in 14:43 is brilliant composition

When I do shots near the ocean, I also carry a small bottle of Distilled Water with me just in case my camera takes a nose dive into the water and sand.  I can used the water to rinse of the sand and salt, and then use my towel to dry everything off.  It's a good fix until you can get home and really clean things out.

Don't leave us hanging Nick! Did the life giving power of white rice of resuscitate the camera?

Man I jumped when that fell. Great images

You are the man Nick, really cool to see you making these videos!

Thank for sharing your camera misshapen. It nice to see that I am not the only one that does the camera drop. Hope the rice thing works.

Nice video. I love those leaves! sharp eyes , Nick!

Nick, Love the videos man.  Rob here from Nova Scotia.  Landscape photographer as well.  Enjoy your videos.  Keep on shooting man!

Joy and sadness mixed like in al those best epic stories... Life... Good luck and thank you.

If you can find a craft store like Michael's they sell silica for drying flowers.  You would need to wrap your camera in paper towels and tape it around the seams so the silica doesn't get inside any slots etc. But it works! It usually takes about 24 to 48 hours to dry things out though.  It's worth a shot.  Good luck!!!

Thanks Nick, love Bandon and need to spend more time on the beach there, since I live on the coast!

When your camera detached it sent a shiver through me, same thing happened to me over rocks on a mountain side. 10 ft drop but my Nikon d810 still worked

brilliant video, i shouted when the camera nosedived, hope it survived, what a photogenic country you live in, Oregon looks just awesome,keep up the good work
