I like these a lot. I like the low perspective and the candid expressions

[Biffbradford]

Yes, I love #3 ! Are these shot from shore?

(I thought they were kayaks)

Hi Guys
Canoe's kayaks are they not the same thing???
having never been to one of these events before I thought I would get some Low Perspective shots

so took along my Wellington boots and sat on the grassy floor Lying down - sitting down
getting wet through and generally enjoying taking my pics as us middle aged guys do LOL
at time s I was stood in the water at various points of the course trying to mix up the shots etc

thanks for the comments
Chris

Great pictures, the lower perspective really makes them stand out.

these are great Chris, where were they taken.
Washburn Valley Gary not far from Otley where I live - been wanting to shoot these Canoe/kayak guys for a loooong time and then at the very last minute I saw they had arranged a comp so off I went

must admit I was cold and soaked by the time I had finished - but was a really enjoyable excursion and I will go again
this sport makes for some nice colourful pics
cheers guys
Chris
