Sorry to cause you distress. I have deleted the photo, but must tell you I disagree - I thought it showed a lot of strength and character - you were on your way to a race, just stepping onto the bridge... in any event, it's gone. The equipment I use is limited by budget. I explain that because my 75-300mm zoom lens is completely inadequate for racing shots in Nanaimo and Sproat Lake, although it works better on the Gorge. For that reason, I found myself focusing on people, rather than boats, and some of the results have been nothing short of incredible. That is why, had you glanced over the railing at the moment I snapped the shutter, you would have seen me pointing my camera at people instead of dragon boats. Happy paddling, Ken Hi, Amy!

It's not a flattering shot of me at all - folks might think I look angry and that's not really the impression I'd like my fellow paddlers to to have of me. Thanks a bunch! Amy Sangha Hi there,
