Photographer’s Note

Canoeing the South Saskatchewan River

I'm getting the look from the Sterns-men....I'm not paddling again. I'm taking photo's instead of helping to paddle. It's way more fun taking photo's and eating to keep up my strength rather than paddling. ( I do paddle )

It's tricky taking photo's from the canoe as it's always moving. I had to straighten this photo as the horizon was off. If it's not the wind blowing it's the paddler in the rear rocking the canoe side to side.

This river look huge and deep. I wonder what it feels to paddle for such long distances but I bet the views all around are excellent. Nice picture Janice. The colours and subject in the middle are good. Cheers again :-)

Janice how could you take a needless break to take this photo while this poor man has to paddle all on his own? Excellent work . I would be afraid to take my camera on a canoe for fear of falling in.. ruining it all. I still have to level many photos I take with the Xti on flat land let alone in a canoe. Thanks for sharing! Heev Hoo Paddle Go!

Hey Janice, this one's giving me memories. This is something I'm missing right now. Not a lot of canoes in Oz. I like the look in your partner's face - he has that "get back to work" look. Nice comp. Enjoyed.

Thanks, John
