    This is the nastiest class 4 around. Slalom on the SF of the Payette in Idaho.
    If you stay to the left...piece of cake...go down the center and you get a wild ride like this guy had.

    Thanks for taking a look.

    I don't know what it is, but there is just something cool about water hanging in the air.

    "Kayaking is Boring..." Yeah, it kinda is... except for the last picture, all those other shots suck. Nothing visually interesting in them, except waves.

    Thanks everyone for taking a look and taking the time to comment.
    These are with the d200 and the 70-200 nikon 2.8 and the Sigma 150 2.8.

    I try to get as close to eye level as possible and try to get them coming straight at me or as close as possible. I don't get in the water, no kayak for me!!

    You're funny!
    For a guy that doesn't have the stones to post any photos of his own you have a lot of attitude.

    I was reading your post where you were asking how to freeze the motion of a baseball. That is pretty much photography 101, so excuse me if I don't pay any attention to your critique due to your obvious lack of any knowledge or experience.

    Feel free to never respond to any of my photos in the future.
