  • Nice share. Could you spare some tips on how I could capture rapids-boating events better? I end up with crappy shots more often than not. :(
  • Sure can, I suggest using fast shutter speeds, a polarizer filter over your lens and get in close with an underwater camera, or underwater camera housing for your camera. You can also use an aquarium if you're really careful, and a risk-taker.

    Fast shutter speeds freeze the action and water. The filter will cut down on the glass from the sun. If it's a cloudy day, it's not needed.

    Try following one kayak, canoe, raft, or whatever you're photographing. Don't zoom while you're shooting, just set the lens (if it's a zoom) to a certain length and pan the camera while following them down the river.

    Good luck!
