The Lancaster Canoe Club explored the islands of the Susquehanna River Saturday near Washington Boro. We saw eagles, green herons, egrets, great blue herons, shore birds and plenty of shallow water greenery, like this/these lotus. Seventeen kayaks toured the Conjehela Flats.
These photos were shot with my point-and-shoot (PS) Lumix-- I prefer not taking a more expensive camera on to the water.
Tried to find a suitable waterproof housing for the PS, but found the cheapest one cost as much as the camera. Tried a specially-made plastic bag two weeks ago, but it made poor quality photos.
Saturday, I just kept the camera in a zip-lock plastic kitchen bag to protect it from splashes-- doubtful it would have kept it dry in case of a dump. When I saw something to shoot, only then did I take it out of the bag.
Smaller waterproof cases (mini-suitcases) are available that would keep it dry should I have capsized, but they are inconvenient to use, especially when something suddenly pops up in front of you.
Beautiful. But then we like all your stuff. Over breakfast, if a photo in the Record catches our eye, the conversation will go, "Bowden?" "Yep."
I was amused that you took your Lumix on the water. That's my GOOD camera! But it's great to know you appreciate it.
Best, S.
