Kayaking Photography Hints & Tips

"When you hold your camera and your paddle is placed across the cockpit, there is always a chance that your paddle could drop in the water. Within seconds, it could be out of reach and you will be in a dangerous situation. Use a paddle leash to attach your paddle to your wrist, to the deck or to the side deck line. Another option would be to bring your left elbow down to the cockpit to hold the paddle between your PFD and your left elbow. That would keep the paddle from dropping in the water. "
