Disregarding the disgusting zoo atmosphere of the PTTS tourney, those are some nice shots.

What Rik said.
Being out on the water in the kayak is the prize. Catching fish is the bonus.

Are you the official PTTS photographer or just shooting it for your pleasure.

Lens/body model?

I'm shooting for the Waterline weekly. It's a paper that is issued weekly with the herald in Charlotte county.

Nikon 70-300vr I usually try to use aperature priority in order to hold a good depth of field. In the morning it don't always work because of the low lighting it slows my shutter speed to much. I have some f2.8 lenses but in the daylight it's not really necessary.
