What gear were you using here?
http://clearwaterphotography.smugmug.com/
I have a Nikon D200. Most of the shots were taken with a 18-200 lens. I have a Watershed dry bag that has a bit of camping carry mat inside. I put my camera in there along with a small towel, seal it up, put it in the back of my kayak and clip it in.
Then when I get out for photos I take my helmet off, dry my hands and face, camera out and shoot away...
The Watershed dry back is far from as solid as a Peli case but to fit a D200 in it you'd need a massive Peli case that would need to be put between your legs when paddling which isn't all that safe.
So far so good!
