A Great Day Sailing [pics]

The mix of textures between the clouds and the water is just lovely... and your exposure is perfect. Great work under tough photo conditions!

Thank you, Sue!

The sky did get blown in that last one, but with one hand on the tiller; main sheet in the hand holding the camera, I didn't have time to try to meter it better!

Wow, CC! These are just what that Hayes Island effect is intended for; not so good photos with decent subject matter turned into artwork!

Beautiful job; thanks!!

ability to steer that boat and take a pic at the same time! I had a really hard time doing that! But it was SO much fun trying.

Your boat looks AWESOME. Love the pics.

I'm afraid I wasn't doing a great job of either at that moment; it was something of a 'divided attention' test!

Your boat looks AWESOME.

Thanks; I've enjoyed the 'Honey Bear" for over 10 years now!

I could tell you're having a hell of a time training your "divided attention" skill, otherwise, you wouldn't have blown out the sky just kidding. Great shots, I presume you had the IS engaged!

What a perfect day for sail racing today! Winds blowing 12-15
with gusts to 20; temp around 70; and just a great day to be on the
water! It is quite a workout when you're racing in stiff winds
but is about the most fun you can have at 7.5 knots!!! )

I had a tough time taking these; shooting into the sun; steering
with the tiller with one hand and trimming the main with the other,
but snapped these off with the UZI:

We left this one in our wake:



Along with a few others:



These got away! The sky got a bit blown out but I didn't have
time to change any settings as I was pretty busy trying to sail the
boat!



These aren't technically that good but hope it gives you a little
flavor of the fun I had today! Too bad I couldn't take a shot of
my own boat heeling over!!

Thanks, Henry.

I could tell you're having a hell of a time training your "divided
attention" skill, otherwise, you wouldn't have blown out the sky
just kidding. Great shots, I presume you had the IS engaged!

Holding the UZI with one hand, the camera was moving all over the place as the boat was rockin' and rollin' in the chop and wind gusts. No way I could have gotten anything close to these shots without IS!

I really wanted that one across my own boat, but just couldn't manage the settings and hang on to the boat at the same time!
