Caught red-handed

Caught doing what I love to do, speaking about photography. Here is an image from a presentation I gave last night at the Pike Imaging Council.
 
Thank you for the photo Allan Weingarten! Great group of artists at the PIC in Milford PA.

This old farm property was very overgrown and difficult to see from the main road. Interestingly, this is actually state-owned open space now.

All photos taken with my typical kayaking setup which is the Tamron 18-400mm VC lens + Canon SL2.  A pretty versatile tool and portable enough for me to fit inside my dry bag.
