Yet more kayaking photos. I'm going to get a reputation as it's all I ever seem to do these days.

The weather today was far from motivational: cloudy, cold and threatening to rain (it drizzled a few times). The worst part was the wind. Not really strong, but just enough to really hammer the cold feeling home. It was making me start to wonder why I bother :)

I bought some waders after the previous race as I'd become a bit tired of having to turn back for ankle-deep water when trying to reach the main flow. They made a huge difference - I was able to pick the spot I wanted for once.

I left the longer lenses at home as they're not much use in such dim light, and I knew I'd be able to get closer due to the waders. I carried 24, 43, 100 and 200mm lenses with the K10D body. I let the camera pick the AF point for a little while but the results were mixed... it was certainly easier to shoot but it did miss a few. Having said that I missed a few by having the wrong AF point selected so I can't really win :)

Cheers,
Dave
