There are Kayak Clubs in our area - they often get together for a game of Kayak Basketball
This game was at Lake Padden, a city park in Bellingham. These were taken with my little point and shoot Canon.
The motion of the waves in the sunlight - taken with my Canon Powershot SX30IS - landscape setting
And then the kayakers came into view. They were all beginners and having lessons in kayaking on the ocean
Back to Lale Padden - this was the same camera - action setting. It allows me to take multiple shots quickly, without waiting for the review.
The slower kayakers don't necessarily need the action setting
A great day for a smooth kayak ride.
Amazing photos for this challenge. I love them all.
ReplyDeleteKayaks always look so colorful on the water - and it looks like so much fun, too!
ReplyDeleteHi JoAnn, I like your blog, looks interesting. And kayak basketball is a new one on me! Good pix of 'movement', especially that third last one.
ReplyDeleteOh JoAnn(love the spelling-that's how I spell my name too), loving these "movement" photo's, what beautiful scenery you have. I've always wanted to see Alaska, and thanks to you we can enjoy. I'm new following.
ReplyDeletewait I've been reading here, and I jumped ahead of myself(whoops), I see your in Washington state, my mistake, I apologize, I mind got stuck on Alaska from reading bout your book.
ReplyDeleteBodies of water always provide abundant opportunities for movement subject matter. I can't imagine playing kayak basketball, LOL! These are really nice action shots and my favorite is the one with the fellow moving the paddle. I can see concentration in his face! Thanks for joining in with the challenge again!
ReplyDeleteOnly in the Pacific Northwest would there be a game of Kayak baseball!! Well... maybe in far northern Wisconsin. Nice shots.
ReplyDeleteThese are all beautiful. It's very neat to see the close up and the paddle in motion! Beautiful water and colorful boats...perfect for the challenge!
ReplyDeleteI especially like the glittering sun on the water. (We've had such a beautiful summer I love seeing every minute of it!) It's nice to see so many people out enjoying life.
ReplyDeletePretty waterscapes.. The kayaking looks like fun! Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteAny movement on flat water is calming and peaceful. Nice pics JoAnn, and of course I know Lake Padden as my Bellingham friends live close by there.
ReplyDeleteI love kayaking and wish I lived on a lake. Some of my fellow voyagers to Antarctica participated in ocean kayaking - they were young and brave. It did look awesome and was exciting I know - wish I'd signed up for that experience…….and lived to tell about it, haha!
Hugs - Mary
I have always admired those who kayak. I have never tried it, but this makes me Want to give it a whirl! :-)
ReplyDeleteI love your capture of the fellow in the red jacket. He looks pretty intimidated and appears to be trying to keep from rolling over. At least he's giving it a try, I've thought about it and that's as far as it went.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos for this challenge. Water is always a great subject and I love the way you've captured the sparkles on the water. The kayaker is really working his paddle!
