Challenge has finished

I'm a big fan of kayaking and canoeing. At least once a month, I get the itch to be back out on the water and I always bring my camera. Let's see your shots from the boat. - EITHER YOUR BOAT OR SOMEONE ELSE'S BOAT MUST BE IN THE PICTURE

Lovely image. Thanks for explaining how you shot it as I was puzzled by the high shutter speed and low ISO.

Thanks, and absolutely correct. This is actually a shot that I had visualized, and tried to capture at night on several occasions. Even with a full moon, I couldn't get the shutter speed necessary to get a good crisp image at any useable ISO. This shot was taken at around sunrise to produce a suitably dark context to highlight the rower in the "moonlight." And again, thanks for the kind thought.

Exposure says it's sunlight. But its a nice picture and idea anyway :)
