Great post, what you said is really helpful to me. I can't agree with you anymore. I have been talking with my friend about, he though it is really interesting as well. Keep up with your good work, I would come back to you.

Outdoor activities are so much fun especially if y0u have your own outdoor space in your backyard, it can be a perfect place to bond with your family

Awesome tips Bob! With those in mind, I'm looking forward to capture my son's downriver trip as a more memorable experience! Thanks! Just hope that the print outs would be as amazing. :)

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!

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. :(
