Description
Today by chance I happened upon an island wide invitational canoe race in Hilo bay, downtown Hilo. The day was beautiful and the crowd was estimated in the hundreds. I was asked to shoot some shots for our local club, Puna Canoe club. So I will be posting some of my results in the next couple days....
This first one is of a little girl sitting in the canoe comtemplating her upcoming race. She leans on her paddle for re-assurance. She paddled her little heart out as did all the girls in her canoe.
Most shots were in RAW mode converted to JPEG.
Thanks for having a peek, and hope your enjoying your weekend. Aloha to All~

Cute girl. A little young for you.
Dave, - I really think you do your best stuff with people. This is very good, and although you don't do people that often, I can't think of a single one that wasn't an outstanding 'capture' as you folks say.
