Default Kayaker

I took this last weekend trying out my new 100 2.8 macro. Had a great vantage point right above where the kayakers were playing.

Thanks guys. No, I wasn't flying.At this particular spot on the Ocoee River, there is a pedestrian bridge that crosses it, and below the bridge is one of the areas the kayakers like to play. I caught him as he was beginning a roll.

I'd kept meaning to shoot shots of the kayakers/rafters while the rivers were running big here, but didn't. Probably still some kayakers around though. Thanks for the inspiration.

Thanks. Unfortuately 1). I wasn't there that long and 2). Since I was directly above them, I mostly ended up with shots of the tops of their heads. Sorry.
