Watson Lake this Tuesday morning

Every year I make one big purchase to support my photography jones. It's usually a lens or sometimes a new camera body. I have never posted pictures of my equipment, or for that matter taken pictures of it. Before I set out this morning on my maiden voyage I sent a cell phone pic to my wife. These are a few shots from todays outing. I missed the sunrise, it took me about an hour to get the Kayak off the car and to the lake. It was my first time and I wasn't to graceful getting it off the roof of my SUV. It weighs about 65 pounds without the seat and peddle drive in place. Getting it back on the SUV was a bit more difficult, gravity is not my friend. What I can say is after I get the transportation thing down this little boat will be great. I was able to shoot while navigating around the rocks, and never a need for the paddle.

Really nice set. The first must have been watching you. Curious about number 4 also.

GREAT JOB LMG!! You stared down a Canadian Gate Keeper, rassled your yak into the water, explored water and depths others are reluctant to approach- AND! Brought home photos of your adventure!
You will enjoy your kayak- great for "alone" time, muscle toning and a different perspective… my only suggestion is to add an Olympus TG-6 or TG-7 to the mix- not that it makes better pictures than your phone (I think it does) but, by being waterproof, it’s not afraid of splashes or drips and is always at the ready; literally, two seconds from seeing a great subject to pressing the shutter. Clip on a floating wrist strap and who cares if you drop it overboard… it works underwater, too!

I have to agree, you got some very interesting photos! Thanks for sharing 👌. I imagine you're going to put your kayak to very good use!

You certainly got some beautiful shots during your adventure. Once you get the logistics of loading and unloading down pat, you'll really enjoy this!
