holerider Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #1 · Give new meaing to "icecream headache"... Rather than wishing for a new camera I was out using the Nikons I currently own to do some shooting. This will probably be the last of the paddle photography around this area until the spring. Ice will start to form heavily causing the danger level to increase to very unsafe conditions for both paddlers and photographers. The footing around the falls was already coated in ice making walking very treacherous. Enjoy... Take care, Robert Faubert Holeriders Edited on Nov 28, 2005 at 04:58 PM Nov 28, 2005 at 05:10 AM

turnert Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #2 · Give new meaing to "icecream headache"... Thanks for posting these Robert. Good examples of how dedicated some people are to their favorite pastime. By the way, if you want some good footwear for photographing in these conditions, check out the boots I wear at the "office": http://www.madsens1.com/HoffmanBOOT.htm Although designed primarily for traversing over felled timber (I'm a timber industry geologist), they do work on icy ground too!

Fundy Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #3 · Give new meaing to "icecream headache"... Those guys are absolutely nuts! When can I go photograph them, with Ted's boots, of course. Ted, where you livin' . I'm an Oregon boy and lived in: Eagle Point, Ashland, Silverton, Ontario, Sandy, Portland, Eugene and St. Helens. Been stuck in Japan for the past 10 years though... Robert, on a few of the shots, I think if you'd bump up the contrast they would look better. IMHO. Andrew Edited on Nov 28, 2005 at 04:58 PM Nov 28, 2005 at 11:46 AM

caryb Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #4 · Give new meaing to "icecream headache"... Why does that not look like fun? Ice on your helmet isn't a good sign. Edited on Nov 28, 2005 at 04:58 PM Nov 28, 2005 at 02:08 PM

ebelp Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #6 · Give new meaing to "icecream headache"... Why does the water have that nasty greenish brown color? Edited on Nov 28, 2005 at 04:58 PM Nov 28, 2005 at 03:52 PM

holerider Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #7 · Give new meaing to "icecream headache"... Ted, Thanks for the feedback. I have some crampons of ice climbing that I usually use on the ice but I have not yet thrown them into the truck. The boost you linked to look great, you could really motor around in those compare to crampons. take care, Robert Faubert Holeriders Edited on Nov 28, 2005 at 04:58 PM Nov 28, 2005 at 04:31 PM

holerider Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #8 · Give new meaing to "icecream headache"... Hi ebelp, The rivers around here are all full of tanins which cause the river to take on the darkgreenish/brown colours. The tanins leach from decaying materials such as logs or brush that ends up in the river, around the Ottawa area this is very common as it once was heavily into the forestry and lumber industry. They used th e rivers to transport the logs. take care, Robert Faubert Holeriders Edited on Nov 28, 2005 at 04:58 PM Nov 28, 2005 at 04:35 PM

But I work all over the west side (1.2 million acres of territory in Oregon) as well as in Washington (mostly southwest area as well as our timberlands operations around Mt. St. Helens).

The boost you linked to look great, you could really motor around in those compare to crampons. take care, Robert Faubert Yeah, "caulk" (pronounced "cork") boots are great for traversing around the slopes and terrain around the river. But if you want to shoot in the shallows while in the river, you would probably want to get felt-soled wading boots that have metal studs in the soles for traction on the slippery rocks. http://www.simmsfishing.com/za/SIM?PAGE=PRODUCT_DETAILS&CAT=footwear&PROD.ID=14431 I used to wear boots like these (with neoprene, stocking-foot chest waders) all the time when I did remote stream surveys. Sometimes I would wear the caulk boots for the cross-country traverse to get to the stream reach I wanted to survey, then I would suit-up with the wading boots for working in the river.

holerider Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #11 · Give new meaing to "icecream headache"... Hi Andrew, Up too late last night, accidently linked to the wrong folder. All is ok now, images don't look so flat. Take care, Robert Faubert Holeriders Edited on Nov 28, 2005 at 04:58 PM Nov 28, 2005 at 04:53 PM

holerider Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #12 · Give new meaing to "icecream headache"... Hi Al, Definetly pucker power! These guys are very hardcore around here they paddle from the high +30's Celcius to the low - 30's. Icing up can become a problem as you and your gear get heavier and freeze solid. I generally am shooting bare hands, cold fingers are nothing compared to total body immersion. take care, Robert Faubert Holeriders Nov 28, 2005 at 04:58 PM
