RE: [Paddlewise] Trip Photography: (was Down East Photos)

  I use a Pentax WR-90.  It's a fairly inexpensive, water-resistant camera
with a 90mm zoom.  That's not nearly enough of a zoom for decent wildlife
photography, but it's a pretty decent, fairly lightweight and durable little
rig.  Mine has survived unscathed several rolls and even some extended
out-of-boat swim sessions in salt water. (Some idiot who knows better forgot
to take the camera out of it's traveling spot stuffed under the pfd).  When
I lived down south and paddled WW it frequently traveled in the bottom of my
Encore with at least a little water sloshing around (one of the unavoidable
features of paddling an OC-1).
  Having said that - I'm not that good of a photographer.  I'm sure that if
you're really into taking good pictures that you'd want something more than
a simple little point and shoot camera.
