Thanks. Almost missed the sunset photo shoot because a rescue was underway for 3 men who tipped their canoe. Three young men with kayaks paddled out to them and towed them safely to shore. No life jackets and 62 degree water, they were lucky that a few of us gather at that spot to shoot sunset.

Thankfully, they were helped. That had to have been an adrenaline pumped situation. Did you happen to get any shots of the actual rescue?

I didn't take a single shot. They were about 1/4 mile out and I could hear them yelling for help so we made others aware that something was wrong out on the water. At that point people in the campground went into action and kayaks hit the water. I had on a 10mm lens (on a crop sensor camera, which yields about 14mm). They were just dot's on the page with that lens.
