I might be making a video composition later on. Can I use images from you guys too, or are there constraints?

Great week of paddling!!

@ Florian: My thoughts too - my pictures aren't as great as last years and the years before. I'm not quite sure why.

From all the pictures I took I have only one favorite:

Is it because there was no really special photo spot like last years weirs at the Bregenzer or the spot on the Vorderrhein near former surf city or the "Schwarzes Loch"?

@ jakke: take any of my pictures you like for your video compilation and put my name in the credits

Anyway, we had fun out there, and now I indulge myself in your pictures. I'm looking forward to it! Thanks for posting.

k, thanks, I will.

And maybe you have only one favorite, but you must admit it is a really nice shot!

I'm already happy to have some shots of me in a non-artificial environment

. but the really true exotic shots are quite rare from what I've seen up till now.

Taniwha, That is an awesome photo! It is always great to see what we're missing out on in the Alps. I'm saving up for a trip over there, but how to convince the wife ???? Thanks to all of you for sharing your photos!

hey guys, you forgot that my pictures are still to be put online! I worked hard to get the best out of the even photographically not so spectacular things we did - and at least for some pictures I did a good job, so there will be some more shots, that you, jakke, can use, too

just give me one more week, please, since at the time I'm busy for 24-7 with university, job and training

@ craig: you can convince your wife with spectacular landscapes to hike and cycle, nice farms who have holiday rooms for tourists, some castles (Schloss Neuschwanstein is just one of them), delicious bavarian and austrian food, history, museums - whatever she is interested in - be creative

or teach her paddling[/quote]

Hi Insolence,

Ok, I'll wait for your images, no problem

. I'll be using quite some time selecting and cropping images, fixing video sequences, .... . I'll do my best to make a nice video of what I have.

Does anyone know there are some pics of the Salzach as well? I think there are pictures of about every section we paddled, except for Salzach?

I don't know about the other group who did it first, but when I was there, we didn't take photos, since there is no eddy where aa photorgapher can settle and the risk of loosing the equipment in case of a capsize was too high - very big and fast water!

There was no good spot neither, except the giant wave (but there was no eddy to get oneself positioned)

I am really looking forward to seeing your pictures, Sabrina (though I am still grumbling by the fact that you took none as I passed you by swimming behind my boat in the Koenigseer Ache...)

Hey, so at least everyone thinks you're a paddling hero having all under perfect control

don't worry, the next time I'll be as downright ruthless as I usually am

and get it all banned on my chip with three pictures per sec, including everything: that funny expression on your face when falling in, you cursing and ruddering with the arms after getting out of the canoe

Hehehe, and I like your picture of me a lot, Jakke. It shows exactly the moment where I think: Oh f%& ! I forgot doing a high brace again!

thanks!!!!

I'm happy if my pictures offer some pleasure to the onlookers, that's what they are there for

but they woldn't be that good if I hadn't had such nice and stylish models! Especially that guy with the violet zoom, he was one of the best
