Forgot My Water-Camera Today

 

Forgot my water-camera today.  Always good to do, once in a while.  During my 45-minute paddle-workout, I found myself still checking photo opportunities, but I also found myself noticing other things.  The quality and consistency of my strokes, for example, or lack thereof.  The balance points of the board, if I changed position.  Also, aspects of the sailboats and motorboats on Richardson Bay that were other than telegenic: waterline bio-creep; working boats vs storage boats; changes in mooring positions; new flags, new sails, and new decorations.  I also focused more on using the slight swell to my benefit; it was slight, so that took focus I usually don't spare when the camera is handy.

Accidental Exposure

 



I made the local paper as an extra in a photo!

(Thanks, Bibit, for sharing this with me.)


At my first paddle boarding lesson a month or so back, a writer was part of the group learning to paddle.  ( A photographer was stationed on land.)

In the photo, I am looking down at my board instead of looking forward and beyond. Grrr.


(I look at my skates on the ice too: bad form.)
