This a very vivid and well composed picture. Were you impersonating as a seagull? to shoot this.

Best wishes

Knut,

Thanks for the comments and observation. No seagull act for me, I just used an 80-200 zoom on my F100 for the shot. I didn't even have to get my feet wet (well not much at least) since the rapids occur very close to land. Up to a 3 meter tidal surge produce the rapids at Skookumchuck narrows (which connects Sechelt Inlet to Jervis Inlet, B.C.) I'm posting another, wider angle shot from the same area today, should give you a better perspective on this beautiful region.

p.s. do you still shoot with your G2?
