Default Kayak shoot

Hey guys, I was lucky enough to take the kayak out for shots .. and I kept me and the camera dry!

Reflections on the bay

Reflections

Natural overhanging frame (pardon my angles)

overhanging frame

I liked the way the sky was caught in the "swells" (little tiny waves)

soft swells

A look through the water to the pebbles and sand ..

6 inches deep

Beautiful shots. You can see a touch of Fall in the trees. The reflections are wonderful. Very brave of you to take your camera out on the water. But definitley worth it.

Ian, The reflection in your first shot is spectacular. I like the overhanging limb in your second shot and the inclusion of the rock on the right. Beautiful clear water and a great day. Well done.

Hi Ian, these are Great Captures, Perfect exposure and clarity. I like the 1st one, and the ripples in the water. Looks like you've got a nice Kayak, I love Sea Kayaks; I've been thinking about getting the Canon waterproof digital to take with me when I take to the sea.
Thanks for sharing these
Michael.

Thx Mike, it seemed right to keep the rock in, I liked the shadow

Thx Michael, too bad I had the only camera .. getting in the kayak was ok, getting out was a comedy show ..

Love all the shots, my favorite is the overhanging frame with the branch and rock

I'm also glad that I'm not the only one who sometimes has a rocking angle on a water horizon

Love the shots of the sky in the "swells" and the rocks through the water, same type of shots I find myself taking
