We went over to Wilson Creek to enjoy a Saturday in the mountains, not many “big” rapids on Wilson Creek but i took my camera with me anyway. I wanted to see if i could find a quality picture without capturing something naturally appealing to the eye. My eye zeroed in on a rail slide move and the composition looked right, an unknown paddler managed to do the exact move i had in mind. Here are the results:

Just because your not stomping 90 footers in Pucon doesn’t mean you can’t take some fantastic shots. Don’t be afraid to take your camera along for any adventure never know what you might come across in the spur of a moment.

Hey LVM!

I am sending you a great example of the elusive synchronized golden stroke that I just unearthed while reviewing my photos from West/Upper Cherry Creek. This photo comes from a trip down the West Cherry Creek, followed by the bottom gorges of UCC at high flow. The rapid pictured here is one of the best in the second-to-last “gorge” on UCC, which leads directly into a great banked drop just after this entrance boof. Executing this nicely timed double golden stroke are Barry Boher and Chris Morrison. I am glad to have captured this synchronicity on film and hope it makes the cut.

Cheers,
Alex Clayden
