The Ottawa River Panoramic Out Take
>> Sunday, December 4, 2011
The Ottawa River defines the border between Quebec and Ontario. The total length, 1271km (790 miles). In the early 19th century the Ottawa River and it's tributaries were used to access untouched White Pine forest.
It's one of the busiest rivers during the Northern Hampshire's summer months, with commercial rafting and kayaking companies occupying its waters. It's a treat to go paddle and shoot up there. Here's an out take shot from my trip in October, I was making a panoramic and this was my first test shot, I really like the early morning light against the fall foliage.

Keeping It Local, Bru!

I met up with Kurt Smithgal for a session on Rock Run. The gauge (above) looked great and I was in high hopes of looking at the upper sections of the river, when we arrived to see the levels those hopes where swept away. A medium low level was still good enough.
Here are a few shots from Rock Run.

The following day I headed to the Loyalsock for some park and play, the water now low, it was great to get out, work on some basic skills and enjoy the sun and warm weather. No photo's from that session.

Northern PA Scout - The Start Of Spring 2012 Projects
>> Wednesday, November 16, 2011
Scout [ skout] : a person sent out to obtain information.
This past weekend Eric Adsit and I set out to
scout my local area for some river running opportunities in the spring. Eric
has found multiple first Descents and new sections of rivers in and around his
home in the Adirondacks, one only an hour away from his house, which will become
a classic run in the future.
With very little water in the area, we walked
a couple creeks looking for potential drops and most importantly access points
for descents in the spring.
 |
| Adding a person to a photo of a drop, brings the drop to scale, a very useful tool when scouting. We bush wacked down Miners Run, a low volume, steep, manky class 5 run. We had heard that Jim Straka had run some of the drops close to 13 years ago. The beta we had, was that it was full of wood. Due to Hurricane Irene that is not the case now, but some boulders are situated in very precarious positions making for some very interesting looking drops. Thanks Irene! |

After my source to sea expedition with Planet River I have been inspired to look at the upper sections of rivers, above the sections, which are generally paddled.

| Looking Up Stream - Rock Run, PA |
I had the opportunity to take a few friends down Rock Run, my local creek, in the late summer. Everyone agreed the river was one of the most beautiful creeks around. This was the motivation to make the section we paddle longer. Eric and I walked for a couple hours upstream finding some tributaries, a few little gorges with what looks like the most technical drop on the section along with a spooky looking house. Success, this will make the run about a mile longer if you walk your boat a mile upstream.

The next river we scouted, well let’s just
saw was the icing on the cake for the day… I’ll leave it at that for now…
When you look for it, it's funny what you find in your own back yard.

Tyler Curtis and some of the Norwegian Young Boaters.
I just got back from a three week road trip, filled with photo shoots and some great paddling. My route took me through Vermont, to the Ottawa, Canada to create some magic photos with Tyler Curtis, then to the Moose River, back to Vermont for a shoot and then back to the Moose River for Moosefest. I'm thrilled with the photo's from every stop I made and am very excited to start sharing soon, stay tuned...
A huge thanks to everyone who helped me along the way!
