Other info: I do not believe a camera phone was used, as the shutter speed of my camera phone did not produce the freeze of the water as in the photo when I tested this by dropping a brick into a bucket.

However, my compact digital Fuji film camera did produce the same freeze, so its shutter speed was fast enough, so it may be possible.

It also took me eleven attempts with the camera phone to catch the splash, as there is a delay in the camera phone as it figres out what to take a picture of. The Fuji Film camera got the shot first time.


lets just say - somebody got very lucky holding his cell right on the yacht in the right moment - i think that's what's photography all about isn't it?
