Title: Oh Be Joyful (Landscape + sport)
Post by: MattBurt on June 23, 2019, 02:04:12 pm

I hope this isn't too out of place here in the Landscape forum. This is sometimes a landscape photo location but yesterday it was also sports. The Oh Be Joyful Kayak race sent 29 competitors down this section of the Slate River twice, racing for the fastest time.
Pretty fun to watch but I certainly would never participate! Big water this year and then it snowed again in the afternoon.

I think it should be called the "Oh Be Crazy" Race.
But it's a nice photo.

(Or you could make it more peaceful by cloning out the Kayaker  ;D  ;D  ;D )

A long exposure, to "silkify" the water would do the trick.

Oh, wait...

I'd be curious to see the "silkified" kayaker.   ;)

Thanks and yeah this is pretty extreme! They all walked away but some took a beating first.
I've got an idea for a silky water + kayak photo in lowish light with a strobe. Might be cool. Maybe I'll get around to setting it up this summer.
