The camera didn't actually get wet, although I did...
All is not what it seems. The shower head is actually on the floor of the shower, with the hose taped to the edge of the folding door to stop it moving and keep the head pointing up.. The water flow is then selected so that the upwards-pointing spray stops at about chest-height. Holding the camera above that, pointing downwards, allows the camera to be pointing into the spray but without any risk of water getting as high as the camera.
Give it a try, it is cheap, easy and effective !

Nice effect, I liked how the edge is sharp but the center is not, interesting.

Great shot, Karma Mechanic (a name used in a Genesis song).
This image would look great cross-processed or toned too.

A good memory you have - yes, I do seem to use cameras in slightly risky ways... So the camera still works after throwing it up in the air
You may also recall when I fixed the tripod to the side of the car and took pictures using the remote release
