Hi Dave: Waders really allowed greater intimacy to the shots, which is
great. Love the shot of the guy in the yellow jacket with the number 109 in
the frame. Cheers, Christine

Subject: GESO: Brass Monkey Race #2
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
