A kayak is a low-to-the-water, canoe-like boat in which the paddler sits facing forward, legs in front, using a double-bladed paddle to pull front-to-back on one side and then the other in rotation.

While kayaking, there are a lot of reflections in the water. Not easy to frame a picture when the slightest wind drives this easy to capsize boat away!

Kayaks and canoes define the Florida lifestyle along the lazy South Fork of the St. Lucie River. The photo was taken from Halpatiokee Regional Park in Stuart, Florida.
It's early morning , the sun is about to pop behind the mountain , the cloud cover is dense and temperatures are dropping . Loch Etive here we are , Three kayak fishers on the day with no one else . On every trip our goal is to catch fish , enjoy our company and be safe on the water . Prior to each trip I would organise a little set up . Loch etive is very deep , so a boat rod and multiplier is essential . Close in a spinning rod and baited feathers will do for the smaller species . And we have now LRF . Light Rock Fishing , Using little shad trying to catch a monster . We paddle in the distance , surrounded by mountains the loch is tantalisingly calm . My first task is to catch anything that swim , so I paddle close in to the rock face and drop a set of baited feathers . The bait is mackerel , the fish are rattling the bait and the first codling is up . This one is kelpy looking , a true red cod . I release it quickly and proceed to another species , a poor cod this time , small fish with protruding eyes . The next stage is to catch up with Stuey , Stuey and I have spend hours on the water together the last 6 years . He is sitting there tied on to a buoy . Fishing there is seriously deep , 100 meter deep , so a multiplier full with braid is primordial . Stuey is doing well and we watch him pulling fish after fish . It's spurdogs and dogfish , and then a good size Ling . Unfortunately this fish will never make it another day . It was released and then went belly up . My next catch was a spurdog and then another one , I use a big chunk of mackerel and a boom set up with 150 lb nylon . The lads then decided to move on further up the loch , the rain was lashing and paddling was necessary just to keep warm . I then had a great plan , Using my LRF . This 7ft rod will cast no more than 8 grs . I tie on a little soft lure orange shad on a 4 gr jig head and sport was about to begin . I cast and retrieve this little lure and my rod bend double .The pollock and coley are fierce predators and hit the lure constant . Lrf is fun and it's only a matter of time people will catch big fish that way . I rejoin my friends further up the loch , Marcos is sitting there on a blank day but eventually his luck is about to turn . Marcos is new to kayak fishing but also very keen , I help him out the best I can . His rod is about to break , I watch him reeling for ages and he shouts , a ray . Thornback rays are awesome creatures , they always have that funny smile . Marcos is happy , his very first ray . We unhooked the spiky thorny fish and let her swim back to her depth , a cool 100 meter down !
Today was fun once again . The fishing was not too bad either with scenery to die for . Kayak fishing is fun sitting inches from the water . Enjoy .. and tight lines all .

Kayak in a breaker at Freshwater Bay. I chanced upon this guy (with a couple of other kayaks) during a walk along the cliff-top. A beautiful afternoon, with wonderful sea colours!
This is a Fuji X-Pro2 raw file converted in Iridient Developer - it does seem much less noisy than LR CC manages at big magnification - with better colours (on a sample of not many trials yet...)

Captured this on 7-7-12 at Sand Harbor beach at Lake Tahoe. I was out looking for something different than what I've done in the past, something new. I was shooting some long exposures of rocks in the lake when and not happy with what I was getting, when I looked across the small bay and saw these kayaks sitting on shore. I waited till the last light of the day which gave each plastic kayak the look that it was self illuminated from within. I ended up waist deep in the lake with my trusty tripod to capture this POV. I wanted a long exposure to smooth out the water to really show off the reflection off the water. So I stacked my 3 stop ND B&W filter on top of my polarizer filter (another 2 stops) and shot at ISO 100 at f22 to get a 10 seconds exposure. I just loved the light and the colors. Glad I went looking for something different.
In order to explore further in the near future, I need to be prepared well for the worst scenario. When running into over meters high waves, it is quit possible kayak flipping over. The roll back is the most efficient way to rescue. This is self-training for different kayak rolls
A scene at Steephill Cove, Ventnor, Isle of Wight. Not many takers for the Kayaks on this particular morning!
