I am, by no means, a photographer. Thirty years ago, armed with a Nikkormat and an unlimited supply of film (courtesy of the US Government), I was into photography. Unfortunately, I wasn't a photographer then, either. But I was a competent technician when it came to working the camera and lenses and this let me take some pretty interesting pictures. My secret was to just take lots of them. Most of them were crap but a few - by sheer dumb luck - turned out well. I suppose it might be possible to acquire the ability to do good photography. It really always eluded me, though. However I discovered that if you take enough photographs you are bound to end up with some good shots. If only by accident. Today's digital cameras make it even easier. If you, like me, are artistically-challenged, just shove an 8gb SD card into your digital cam and have at it. I can't see why this wouldn't work in a kayak. But it might interfere with getting somewhere.
