Powerboats...

Postby Omag 2.0 » Thu May 08, 2008 12:57 pm

[center]Went out to play on sunday, testing my newest lens ( Sigma 70-200) and to learn my girlfriend some tips and tricks about dSLR photography. We went to a local river, to shoot the traffic. ( we needed fast moving objects, to learn about shuttertimes...)

There's the small boat... 7 people in that one!

That looks great! You should try shooting some RC nitro-powerboats!

LOL!!! Goes to show you that rich people are often very lonely. ;D

And clearly the peasants aboard that Mastercraft are getting more smiles per mile!! ;D

Excellent stuff- looks like you had a perfect day for shooting!

As a wise, wealthy man once told me," You'll have more fun in that little ole boat than I ever will in my big expensive one.  I'm too afraid to scratch mine."  I get more fun out of my 35 year old $750 powerboat than many other people around here in their $80000 ones.

I spot 5 folks in that second one.  There's 2 at the bow and 3 at the helm (correct terminology?).  Great shots though.  Really like that last one... man I want a DSLR.

One thing about that big boat, there could be 10 people in the cabin watchin tv.  Of course to me that defeats the purpose of being on the boat.
