2005 Nature's Best Awards Competition

Running the Falls
by Julian Sayers
(People in Nature Category)


Silhouetted against the confused whitewater at the base of the waterfall that he has just shot over, an extreme kayak racer rolls up for air and sprints for the finish line.  The slow shutter speed, while panning, creates the illusion of brush strokes and imparts a painting-like quality to the image.  BZ Falls on the White Salmon River, Washington.

Nikon F-5; Nikkor 80-200 mm f2.8 lens; 1/15 sec. at f/4; polarizing filter; Kodak E100 VS film; Kirk Shoulder stock.
