paddling with a camera

However, there is one problem with shooting sunrise pictures of the mountains: a tall power line along western shore of the lake. It is quite visible and obstructive in the sun light. It is why I am shooting this vista mostly at sunset when I can blend this power line into the foothills silhouette. If you look more carefully you can still see three power line posts in the above picture.

The second sunset picture would be better if I would wait a little longer for the sun to hide over the mountains. However, a large boat wake was coming ...

During last paddling I also had a short photo session in the Boyd Lake marina. You can always find some interesting reflections around sail boats.

When shooting from the Thunderbolt kayak I usually use my paddle to stabilize the camera (Pentax Optio W10) unless the water is really calm.
