Lee Valley White Water Centre - Canoes

Last Friday a few friends from The Cambridge Camera Club visited the Lee Valley White Water Centre, in Waltham Cross, Hertfordshire. This is my third visit to this amazing sports facility. We saw Canoes, Kayaks and White Water Rafts. This post shows photos of the canoes. I was interested in capturing 'portraits' of the sports people so a lot of the images reflect this.

There will be another couple of Blog's, the next will be Kayaks and the last the White Water Rafts.

Lea Valley White Water Centre - Slow shutter speed

I decided to try using a slow shutter speed to create a feeling of movement and to take a more abstract approach to this sport.

After leaving Waltham Abbey Cornmill Meadows we went to the Lea Valley White Water Centre for Lunch. After a very nice jacket potato with loads of cheese we spent a few hours watching and photographing the canoeists.
