Up and Over

Was able to capture this paddler dumping out for an exchange. This is about the 4th one in a sequence of 6 that have him just getting out of his seat until you just see some legs in the water between the splash he created. 1/2500, f8, 800 iso, handheld, no is used. Have found that going handheld for these kind of shots works the best as that I am not limited in my range of motion. I am forced to use a higher shutter and Iso, but feel that I can capture the moment much better and not worry that a tripod or monopod is in my way.

I like how I was able to capture the paddler just before hitting the

water. The spash in the back is from another paddler. I was using

the high speed advance, so I caught the sequence from just starting

to get out of his seat until you just see some legs in the water.

ISO 800, f8, 1/2500, 500 f4, handheld and no iso. As mentioned in

the tech details, I try not to use a mono or tripod as I found that

it makes it hard to move around quickly in the boat. Also, if you

try to use one to steady, you can not compensate for any movement.

I found that getting at 1/2500 captures the action the best. 1/1600

is the minimum but do need some be in a patch of calm water to catch

it. Also the canoes are moving at about 7-9 mph thru the water.

Since Iso 800, it is much more grainier but you capture much more

moments .
