Sun and Wind
The conditions were not the best for landscapes yesterday, so I went paddling. Here is a fun shot from Lee Creek yesterday.

While I am on this subject, can anyone identify this photographer? Hint it is not me.

Looks like a lot of fun in the water...although I don't think I'll be trying it any time soon. Nice shots, Tom.

Nice action shots Tom. But, I think I will keep to my tin bass boat.

Good composition on the top photo, Tom. I like the placement of the two kayakers; it adds a sense of depth. Good exposure control too!

Hey Tom, looks like everyone is having great fun! My wife and I are headed to the Pacific Northwest in a few weeks and even though we have never kayaked (or paddled anything) I am contemplating renting a couple of kayaks and paddling around the island.

Which reminds me, I'd better start working my triceps! :eek:

Hey Tom cool shots sounds like you had a great day on the creek.

What John said. Dynamic shot with exciting action captured when there was the added element of one of the kayakers looking at the other one, helping to tie the two subjects together.

Hey Gale, are you ready to tell them who is in the second shot?

Hey Tom it looks like some old guy that thinks he can still paddle a little. Sounds like everyone likes the first image better. Wish I had been there looks like a good surfing hole. :wink:
