Thank you for the kind words. Also, funny you should think of the out rigger because after almost taking water while trying to track a BIF I too wondered about something to stabilize and bet it exists

I've been out twice with a friend of mine who has a tandum kayak and found it very hard to get a steady shot. I was thinking about not trying any more but your picture has made me want to give it another chance.

Thank you Rob. Yes, my keeper rate after today (2 trips) is about 20% for just exposure and focus, mostly BIFs. Shooting the same critters from my typical shore spots is about 80%. Lots tougher but I expect it will improve with experience.

Very well done. Enjoy that Kayak.
Thanks DM. Someday soon they will be sharper when I dare take my da*300 lens out there when the k-5 returns from CRIS. But my horizons will NEVER be level except after post.
