Camera Equipment
Hi guys,
Thank you for the wonderful compliments... I use a Canon 7D DSLR body with Canon L series lenses. I don't always take out those lens in my canoe or kayak since they are very expensive to replace. However I have found that the Canon 18-135 EFS lens is a good alternative and very less expensive. So I use that as well. RichieC its kind of like Ford & Chevy....LOL

Sort of stalking I suppose, but to answer anybody else's similar question about an image they come across on the web... simply enter web address in appropriate box here:

I bought a small as possible waterproof pelican case for mine. Its heavy and so is the camera, l makes for a brick to carry. On my first trip with it, I landed my guideboat solo onto a beaver dam to look over the situation.. it floated around on its tether once my weight was out of it, came to land on the dam in a different spot. . When I got back in from the end, (I knew it was going to be tricky) it bottomed out on a hidden branch buried by the beavers in the mud tilted to one side, and as s quick as you can say... absolutely nothing, the boat tipped just enough to instantly fill. I got one leg wet retrieving my pack and all the other floating gear... which was unceremoniously grabbed and thrown up onto shore as fast as i could. And off floated my Pelican... I had to launch to get it! LOL
A $60 investment immediately returned about 6G's in savings- as everything was dry as a bone. ... I now don't mind the weight so much... I open it, take a pic, then lock it back up and worry about nothing short of a nuclear blast. Latches are tight, you'll break a nail.
For whats it worth.
