We met Scottie when we hiked the Deschutes to Big Eddy rapids last week. He provides action photos for customers of Sun Country Tours, the primary rafting guide service on this part of the river. Scottie is a pro and his photos prove it - high speed telephoto digitals and lots of practice. He "snapped a photo" of us and sent it along with the sequence above. You can reach him through Sun Country. Click here to see my photos of Big Eddy rafting and make your own comparison. --Bob Speik
