Yacht racing photos - Taking a very sharp turn

Yacht racing photos - Taking a very sharp turn

I was on one knee at the back of the press boat (a small fishing boat with two powerful engines) when I turned to see the 'Lauraus' not eight feet away with bow squared straight at me, my head was about the same height as the crews shoes. A very sharp turn from the Lauraus and a dash forward by our skipper saved me one hell of a headache! The sharp turn toppled a crew member who had to be grabbed quickly or she would likely have gone overboard. Exciting stuff.

With hulls exposed and bow cutting into the water I was amazed at how fast these quite giants could cut through the water, from shores edge they appear to be moving quite sedately, but up close I could hardly get shots off before the yachts had passed leaving less dramatic photos of the stern fading into the Caribbean Sea. Love the full sails and open view of the hull as the yacht turns course.

For something a little different, as most photographers can imagine if they have not done so, getting up close and personal with racing yachts is a great way to spend a couple of hours. Lots of color, plenty of action and super to photograph. The skipper on the press boat really got us in the action and I had a thrilling time trying to capture the energy of these large and very fast moving yachts.

Cat photo - Cat of the day

Cat photo - Cat of the day is Rocky, aptly named as his rear legs were disjointed from birth, so he tends to rock from side to side as he walks. His jumps more resemble that of a Kangaroo than a cat, but he gets by just fine.

Bright Floral Centerpiece - Invigorate the senses

Bright Floral Centerpiece - Invigorate the senses

It is normal practice in flower photography to lose the background, however I feel in this instance the backdrop places this vibrant floral centerpiece in a delightfully inviting atmosphere. A romantic dinner overlooking the Caribbean Sea, I don't know about you, but that would suit me nicely.
