Thats Great. Looks like your friend was very tenacious when getting a shot. He wasn't going to let a little thing like a rocking boat or a heavy lens get in his way. It brought a smile to my face the moment I saw it.

Very interesting. It's the awesome Canon EOS 3, with eye-controlled focusing! Wish I had one, but still love my EOS 1N Long live inspiring people and the legacy they leave behind!
