Kayaking



Freestyle Kayak champion Noah Fraser




Imagine 40 freestyle kayaks in an itty-bitty indoor pool. Now add a photographer with a fish tank into the mix. Picture someone floating around a waist deep pool holding a 15 gallon glass cube to their chest with a camera in it. Just about as insane as freestyle kayaking, except without the risk of a sharp glass penetrating the chest cavity. So a big shout out to Chris (now at the Wash Times) who first explained the fish tank concept of underwater photography. It worked.

I think in the future an ewa marine bag might be wiser and safer.

Ha, Sweet. It is definitely the cheapest way to do it. The EWA Marine bags will make it much easier. Looks like it turned out alright though. The most important thing is to have a CLEAN fishtank, I found that out the hard way once, long ago.

It was the only shot from the fish tank that was remotely close to being in focus.
