A couple of paddleboarders make their long way back up the beach at Gunwalloe Church Cove in Cornwall.
Early morning aerial seascape over the sheltered ocean bay at The Haven in Terrigal on the Central Coast, NSW, Australia.
There's a long stream with dams and waterfalls (and ruined 19th century mills) called the Keuka Lake Outlet, through which Keuka Lake drains into Seneca Lake. The Keuka Lake Trail runs alongside. Various stretches of the outlet are used by recreational boaters and fishermen. On this day I patiently photographed this same scene (I put a piece of wood on the ground at my vantage point so I could return to it easily) with all sorts of crafts passing—kayakers, a speedboat, a strange one-person fishing-boat contraption with an electric trolling motor, this young paddleboarder—and a flock of geese.
There is a further discussion of this image (with the geese version!) here: "What Comes A-Floatin' Down the River."
With my settings loaded and ready for the Fireworks of River of Light 2019 over the Royal Albert Dock, Liverpool, some paddle boarders and kayakers wander into my shot. A quick readjustment of the settings needed to capture this image
This probably didn't turn out the way I intended but I'm posting it anyway. It was a calm day so lots of paddleboarders at Laguna.

It's no secret that I'm a big fan of Venice Beach for sunsets and it's normally my first thought when I see a cloudy sky from my balcony in Hollywood. It's easily the closest and most direct destination along the Pacific Ocean for me and with the predictably unpredictable LA traffic, that is no small condition to consider. It's also relatively easy to legally park for free near where I go since I avoid the pier and further down by Santa Monica. I'm kind of in the dead zone because I'm usually the only photographer within sight and I rarely see more than a handful of people from here. I set up over by the lifeguard Headquarters which sorta splits Santa Monica from Venice. It may be hard to believe, but if you were standing beside me in this exact location, you'd understand what I'm saying and also why I come here.
With a big, colorful sunset predicted by the Photographer's Ephemeris app (and based on what my eyeballs saw all day) a few Fridays ago, my choices were endless but...I was lazy and waited until the only place I had time to get to was Venice. Shocking, right? I say that like it's a bad thing but honestly, when I have too many choices and ample time, I end up debating over and over about where to go, how long I want to drive, the known vs unknown, parking, when we plan to eat dinner, etc until I'm usually left with just Venice or worse: I drive half way to a bunch of locations in different directions and STILL end up at Venice.
I came here expecting a good sunset and hoping perfect weather and a friday night wouldn't make parking impossible. Parking was easy but a few things I hadn't considered occurred: the tide was high--very high and using a 70-200mm lens meant reflections on the shore weren't gonna happen. Also, it was crowded! I mean, lots and lots of people on the beach with most waiting for the sunset. I'd guess there were 10-15x more people here for the sunset than I usually see. Last and perhaps most surprising was there dozens of surfers in the water in front of me. I've never seen a single surfer here in all my trips prior. You'll see surfers between Malibu Pier and the Lagoon and surfers by Hermosa and the beaches closer to Palo Verdes but not here. The combination of tiny waves and a generally low tide seem make Venice a poor option for this I guess. I think I had seen like 3 paddleboarders in the water before this night and that's it.
Being able to photograph surfers during sunset was both a great change of pace and also a bit annoying. Unless I planned to remove the surfers from the photographs later, I had to set my exposure for them instead of the fiery sunset. Fortunately I had a other angles I could choose from to mix up the shot selection and there were a few breaks where the surfers were further towards the pier than my line of sight. I left when the last bits of color left the sky and the last surfer exited the water. No panoramas and no shots of the pier on this night. All my focus was on this view in front of me...for good reason I think :)

A paddleboarder is reflected in the waters of Lake Padden, Bellingham, Washington. Photo taken from the Lake Padden Trail on August 11th - the day before the smoke came.
I walked past at the end of a lesson.
More fun in warm water on the lake in Australia but fun seemed to be being had.

From last month. I wish I had been a second or two faster with focus. In the frame just before this, her arms and paddle were raised higher in a more triumphant posture. Here she was beginning to lower them.
Disclaimer for those not familiar with telephoto lenses: there is some compression of distances, meaning the paddleboarder might not be quite as close to the whale as it appears she is.
View of the lake from southern side (Upper Lake area), Peter Lougheed Provincial Park, Kananaskis Country, Canadian Rockies. It was a bit cloudy to start with, so the colour of the water wasn't really showing up. You can see a canoeist and paddleboarder on rhs of the lake.

Spring Solent Sunset - Spring has officially started.
Daytime temperatures are rising but over the Solent a low bank of cloud and fog stopped the sun from breaking through.
This was taken 30 minutes before sunset and the blue light obscured the Isle of Wight and the New Forest completely.

Surprised to see a cormorant along the Wey Navigation here - it is popular with narrowboats, paddleboarders and wild swimmers!

I happened onto two bedecked paddleboarders. I think there was some giggling going on here.

I love taking photos of this spot. Cayuga Lake narrows here and this area is called Cayuga Inlet. I was thrilled to see someone on the inlet paddle boarding. Usually this area is vacant.
