June 24 to 26 - 2008 - Shooting the Boat International Silver Jubilee regattas


I spent 3 days shooting In Porto Cervo (Sardignia), during the Boat International Silver Jubilee regattas… I only could shoot from the press boat as no clients wished to hire a chase boat ,-(

I may admit that I had quite a success with the Hy6 and the other pro photogs! Some couldn't even think one could bring such a "machine" on the sea… but they were all intersted and asked many questions about shutter speed, DOF and PP…

The wind wasn't very strong, but fair enough o have the boats moving and battling on the blue water…

They were about 25 boats ranging from 24 meters to 51 meters long

Shots were mostly done with the 80 mm, some with the 50 mm. P mode on faster speed (1/1000) sometimes down to 1/640 but NEVER below… Hence I could bring back much more keepers than usual :-)
