Shooting lots of kayaking lately... Rain, mist from falls, slippery rocks in lots of dripping wet forests. Rapping in over mossy loose basalt blocks for pics for 4 seconds of shoot time of a 70 foot falls... An awesome challenge and some amazing extreme athletes!

Volleyball

Volleyball... My first real experience with it last night in Portland, Maureen brought me to watch her play at the co-ed club team night... Seems I can't just enjoy an outing without bringing along the camera... Realized shooting volleyball would take some knowledge of the sport, some better equipment, technical know-how etc etc but fun and great learning experience shooting-wise, and understanding a bit of the intensity required for the sport. Eyes tell it all!
