Tidal Stream
This tiny river flows directly into the Pacific Ocean. The only way I was able to get this shot was to wait for low tide. So I waited at the edge of river 14 hours until the tide receded. I had to pay the guide an extra $650 US for his time. Then I had to hire an authentic native model to occupy the bridge for perspective. I pre-arranged for the ship to re-anchor just off shore and they sent a tender to pick me up.
I hope for some very flattering comments below to make the investment and effort worthy of the final shot - because I only had time to take this 1 shot before the tender arrived with the captain on board barking orders in some foreign language and making crude gestures with his finger pointing to his watch.
