About Newport, RI Race Week 7/22/06

1/400th - f/8 - iso400 - 28mm

I arrived to the sailing center to find out there was no press boat and that every other photographer had been called and told not to come. By chance they didn't have my cell #, so luckily I waited around for the wind to pick up and ended up on a boat with probably the most well known sailing race photographer in the world - Dan Forrester. Not too bad a day - espically when it started blowing 14-18 knots.

Hey Chris, This is probably your best sailing shot. It looks alot like a Mecray painting. Have you thought of cloning out the boat in the backround though.

Hi Serge, I typically expose to the right, or dead on. I find that lightening images increases the amount of grain, whereas darkening images produces less grain.

I agree with you about this scene with high DD. But typically better to measure exposition on lightest part of such scenes. You will not lost information in lights and still have some in dark parts. Then you can select dark parts and change levels in PS, for e.g. It means that you'll narrowing DD.
Regards,
Serge

Thank you Serge for the input.

I understand the lighting conditions were not optimal, however - this is how the scene looked at the time it was shot, and I decided not to alter it to dramatically.

Thank you for your comments on this and my other shot from race week,

Cheers,
Chris

Dear Chris,
very dynamic shot. IMHO, there is small problems with sky. I understand, that this is a complicated situation for shooting. From my point of view yours variant has too high luminosity.
Here my variant. Unfortunately, information about sky is absent.
Warm regards,
Serge

very nice, Chris ! Delicate as wind, but simultaneously full expression.

Thank you Saeed, this wasn't a boat in the races this week, but still an impressive yacht.

Interesting subject, the fill frame works perfectly here and the moment to capture the splash enhances the composition.
