In my work on the web, I manipulate photographs most every day and I think I've gotten quite good at it. But put me behind a camera and I know about as much as the next guy - by that I mean not much. Then put me in a kayak with one and let me just say it wouldn't be pretty, and it would likely be wet.

So what I can offer you in this issue instead are links to web pages about folks who are good at both, but first I would like to highlight past WaveLength articles about photography. We did a feature issue on photography back in August of 1999. Go to www.coastandkayak.com/magazine99.php#mag1999. Also Susan Noppe wrote a 'Top Ten List for Better Kayak Photography' located at www.coastandkayak.com/1996/apr96topten.php.

Outside of the WaveLength site, there is an article from the Rocky Mountain Sea Kayak Club Newsletter www.rmskc.org/archives/articles/ Digital_Camera.htm, Mike Zurawski offers his tips at www.ewildlifephotography.com/photography_with_the_kayak.htm, Gary Luhm has a FAQ list on photography from a kayak www.eskimo.com/~gluhm/bio/FAQ.htm, and PaddleWise's discussion lists contain 2 topics about kayak photography www.paddlewise.net/topics/cameras/.

Remember WaveLength can post your favourite kayaking photos on our site (subject to suitable content). Just email them to me at webadmin@WavelengthMagazine.com .You can see the Favourite Photos page at www.coastandkayak.com/photos.php.
