“Get the Shot”

My daughter Margaret claims that when I have a camera in my hands, I insist that getting the shot is more important than life and limb.  I don’t remember ever saying you have to “Get the Shot, no matter what” but she claims I always did.

While in Norway, Debra, Emma and I went on a white-water raft trip.  Emma and I both took a GoPro.  Emma dutifully attached hers to her chest, I thought I’d hold mine in one hand to get more interesting videos.

When we hit the first big rapids, I wanted to video Emma and Debra’s face as we crashed through the white water.  I guess I was supposed to be paddling though.  We turned into a wave and I was thrown from the raft.  But as you can see from the sequence below, I tried my best to “Get the Shot”

Get the Shot!

Get the Shot!

 

Sadly, I lost the GoPro in the excitement and never got to see any of the video.  They should make those darned cameras float.
