Making Time to Kayak this Year


Photo-A-Day #2972

I didn’t kayak at all last year. My boat sat in the garage for an entire year. That is sad. This year I vow to get out on the water and paddle more. I am going to go kayaking tomorrow with a friend of mine. We’re supposed to go down the Ten Mile River practically behind my house. We’re going to put in by the DPW because we’re going with someone from the conservation commission. I’m looking forward to the trip. I haven’t paddled with my friend Keith for even longer than it’s been since I’ve used my boat.

Wired Kayaker Video – Scooping Herring

Back in April I went to the 4th Annual Scoop the Herring event at Omega Pond in East Providence. The Event is organized each year by the Ten Mile River Watershed Council. While I was there I filmed a bunch of things and I took a bunch of photos. It took me forever to do it but I did manage to pull together a six minute video about the day. You can read about the day on this post: Scoop the Herring Day.

I finished this video and posted it because tomorrow I am headed over to Omega Pond again for the 3rd Annual Roger Williams Paddle. I’ve attended each one so far and filmed each one as well. I didn’t get last year’s video made though. I’m still so behind. I will eventually make the video.

Tomorrow I’ll be using two Kodak PlaySport HD Digital Video cameras. I will also be using two Xshot Kayak Mounts and two Shots in order to film the event. I look forward to see how these devices all work together. I will try and get that video for it up much quicker.

Disclosure: I was given the Two PlaySport Cameras from Kodak and the Two Xshot Kayak Mounts and Xshots from Xshot.

Still taking a few shots with my aperture wide open in aperture mode. I took a ton of shots of Duncan without a tripod and as I took more and more I realized that I have way too much camera shake. I think more and more about getting a new lens. Still thinking about it.

My sister had me set up a new site today for the Friends of North Attleboro Animal Shelter. It isn’t ready for prime time yet but soon. And I’m also working on revamping the Ten Mile River Watershed council but I need to make some more changes to make that work.
