Very nice! Too bad I'm such a cold weather wimp; looks like an awesome day on the creek.

That's great.

Could you provide specifics on editing software and camera you are using?

We appreciate the video! It looks like you had a good time.
It was good visiting with you last week. If you are out today, we are open and have hot beef sandwiches ready to go before or after the run.
We love seeing your pictures. It may be the closest we get to paddling the white water.

Sure thing For the camera I use a Pentax Option 30 waterproof compact camera. 7.1 MgPx I lash it through a tab on my lifejacket and can get it out pretty quick. One thing I've been lucky to do is catch eddies to get shots right at water level. Something that frustrated me over the years was how most photos shot form the bank really miss the depth and dimension of a rapid versus shooting from water level you seem to capture more of a rapid's drop.

For the stills I use the sport setting for objects in motion. I have a 2 Gig memory card in it and I shoot a lot. I shoot small clips of video and then mix still and video.

For editing and production I use iPhoto and iMovie from Apple on an iMac. My stuff is perfect for sharing on YouTube and Flickr. But it would not look good on TV and certainly not on HD-TV.

I shot 98 stills the other day and got 15 or so that were worth sharing.

I have been lucky though to capture so wall hangers and this one is one of my favorites.

Thanks for all the comments I do enjoy and appreciate.

I have also enjoyed the photos and the video. Would have loved to have been along on that trip, but, I'll have to get some better cold weather gear first! You guys are extreme!
