Love the kayaking shots. It's nice to see other folks' adventures ... particularly when the pics are taken in an environment so different than our own.
I thought it would be neat to finally have a chance to get a ride but I had to gulp at the price - $450 for a 30-minute ride on either the B-17 or B-24 and (ack!) $2,200 for a 30-minute flight training and $3,2300 for a full hour in the TP-51C, a two-seat P-51 Mustang. I'll think about the bomber ride but probably not go. The Mustang ride is definitely not going to happen for me.
I picked up aNikon AW1 for on the water - good for underwater photos down to about 49 feet. Just don't have an underwater telephoto zoom lens yet.

Ooohh... that Nikon AW1 would do NICELY for my ocean based adventures - in B.C. and the Baja.
My dad was a B-17 radio/machine gun operator in WWII and a few years ago, I took a ride on a B-17- it was great and was neat to see the spot where he would have been on missions.
Words cannot express the respect I have for those WWII vets who flew missions and submarine missions and others. I did go on the ride and it was great and well worth the money. I posted about it here.
I remember touring the Torsk submarine in Baltimore harbor and coming away with much the same impression (didn't have a camera with me then).
Thanks!Nice image, Audrey. I've a 10-24 lens I really like. It's a DX lens, and I'm using it's on a full frame camera now, so it's something like a 9-16 now, without vignetting. I love the ultra wide angle.

Thanks!
My camera is full frame too, although I'm not sure I'm willing to go below 14mm with it.
This camera works really well in low light - tons of details in the shadows, which made it great for handheld without stabilization inside buildings. The posted photo was taken at ISO 4000.
