What’s the best way to take photos from a kayak or canoe?
Take a strap or bungee cord to hold your paddle to your kayak. Keep your distance from birds; be conscientious. Bring a towel or shammy to wipe your lens. Take a small anchor or a stake to keep your boat in place. Carry a dry bag; keep your camera in it close by while you paddle. Consider purchasing a monopod to mount and make your camera steadier.
