Nutter collection

[Tigger]

We are sat having a little picnic whilst looking down on what you can see is a rather fast flowing river, when I he shouts and screams and looking down see this lot coming down the rapids - it was a case of right place right time ....for me LOL

The reason I say me, is as you can see some of them are waving towards me, at the time I thought friendly lot - until they all passed further on heading down into further rapids ....a few seconds later a van turns up with a guy and what looked like a similar lens around 400mm - I said hi and commented on each other kit as he spoke English

I asked him what type of photography he was into - his responce was " I work for the extreme rides here and take photos of the people going past on the rafts " Oooops LOL... I broke the bad news to him but did show him the photos. I oftened to send them on but he said he needed them for when they got off the rafts

Now I know why they were so friendly LOL

Re: Nutter collection

Catch me doing that?....

A serendipitous turn of events - I wonder how he explained the lack of shots to your subjects...

Nice...

Re: Nutter collection

I wouldn't like to have been at the landing when the guys asked about photos - I'm guessing free runs again

Re: Nutter collection

Great story, Ian. I hope he found somewhere further downstream to catch them, but you've captured a great set.
