    Pictures from Sunday

    So I think I was using one of the scene modes and not auto, and I'm not that happy. I had to process every picture as they were very dark and washed out. Thank goodness for batch processing in Photoshop!

    There were some weight distribution issues with this boat:




    My brother and I giving our "serious" poses:


    There's a sandbar just before you get to the ocean that was packed with kayakers and canoeists.


    My cousin's first day back after 7 months in Italy. Maybe that's why he couldn't keep the boat in a straight line


    Someone caught dinner:


    The bridge stays lifted until a train has to come by, maybe twice an hour.


    Checking out the sheep. Kind of surprised to see them there.

    You'll just have to give it another shot this weekend in auto or P mode.

    My trip to Canada is next week, so I'll have plenty of time to play with it. I also noticed I'll have to be careful about wiping the lens after I dunk it so I don't get splotches in my pictures.

    Yes. Splashing water on it and shaking it off can get rid of the drops or salt stuff on the lens. Mine doesn't get too wet tucked into the top of my pfd.

    NoNo, is your boat a double?

    Love that bird fish photo.

    No, that was my cousin and her friend. They rented a tandem, which didn't work out all that well. Can anyone explain what's going on with my PFD? Why does it stick up so high? I don't really notice it when I'm paddling, but I have to think it should be down on my shoulders.

    btw... thanks for the invitation :0

    As for shoulder straps, I don't know - how tightly do you have it tightened around your waist? I leave mine a little loose because it's easier to rotate. do you have something to shorten the height of the shoulder straps? Some of mine do.

    But none of my pfd's ride up at the shoulders like that:

    I know what kind of pfd you have from that photo and it's just different from ours, that's why.

    K. Well, none of my kayaking pfds do that, and I've got several different types.

    So you guys should just buy a different one
