About Aaron Dunn does a seal launch off the cliff wall in Desolation Cayon on the Green River in Utah. The free fall was photographed at 1/500. The challenge was compensating for digiticam shutter lag. The rapids were photographed separately at 1/30th second using a ND filter held (not mounted) over the 990's lens. The two images were then composited in PS.

Jim, I'm glad you decided to share some of the tech info on this shot. For a minute there I thought I was hallucinating (again). The composite idea gives the best of both worlds with the flowing water and the kayaker frozen in mid-drop. Very cool. By the way, that looks like a pretty nasty hole at river left (top of photo for the non-paddler crowd). Good potential to leave a DNA sample on that rock, huh.

I think you worked wonders on this one, the combining is very well done and the subject matter is very dynamic, well done Jim - Richard.

This shot makes me want to hold my breath when I hit the water...very mind-grabbing. Also, congrats on POTD. You deserve it. Regards, Wendy ;-)
