Find Calm in the Wild Waters

To continue where I left off in my previous post, here are some shots I have taken while white water rafting in Cagayan De Oro River. Bringing my dslr cam in the raft is just toooo risky and crazy so I just brought my ever dependable point and shoot camera along. The three-hour boat ride is not all rapids so during calmer times, we are given the opportunity to take-out our camera and shoot some of the best scenes that the river my offer.

  2. ugh. kala ko ako na ang first commentor! :)

    shucks, i wanna go back there to raft. saya nga niya. it's not dangerous as it looks, diba? but i won't be bringing a camera with me. i'll leave everything to Kagay to take the pictures. masmalaki pa ang chances na patayin ako ng dad ko if i go home with a broken camera kaysa ma-aksidente sa rafting. :)

  3. Great shots, and looks like a wild (and wet) adventure. And good point about the camera gear, that's why you need a couple cameras ...

  13. LS: Some more neat shots shots of the river and your friends.
    I took my P&S camera and put it in a plastic bag while canoing but it got all fogged from the moisture.

  14. I like the photo with the red paddle a lot. Looks like a great day. We went canoeing in the Delaware River, between NY and PA, last summer. My shots look similar, but the trees seem very different.
