Looks great, Bill--very nice shots. What'd you shoot them with?


Point and shoot camera (28-75mm) with Kodak Ultra Color 400,
scanned by a Fuji Frontier lab. The wide angle lens was useful.

A friend of mine gets good results from an old Canon G3 digicam
(bought used on Craigslist) with all the buttons duct-taped over
to keep out water.


I just bought a Pentax W30. It's supposed to be waterproof to 3 meters for
up to two hours. So far I've only used it once while kayaking. A couple of
days ago I went searching for a geocache that was place on the only island
on my local lake (Cayuga Lake, one of NY's Finger Lakes). It was raining
the entire time and it was real nice knowing that the camera would survive
the wet conditions.

BTW, I will be near the Truckee river in about a week but I'll be in South
Shore Lake Tahoe. I'm hoping to do a bit of kayaking while I'm there but
I'm not sure it'll work out.
