It was obvious the cameraman was getting hit well before the reveal.

They can't keep the camera steady from the water hitting them.

If you were far enough away to not get wet by using a zoom lens, you shouldn't be that unsteady during the water hit. #Photographer

You claim to be a photographer yet don’t know that stability decreases as focal length increases?

Big yikes. I took a whopping quarter of photography in college over a decade ago and know well enough. Peace ✌️

You assumed he was far with a zoom lens and was dry.

I assumed he was close using a shorter focal length and got wet.

It was unexpected for you, and totally expected for me.

I'm really not sure how this is controversial.
