Am I really that far behind? Yes I am. Photos from a Windsurf Regatta that I did for Windsurfing Canada in Lake Scugog back in July. Having never really done sports photography before especially while going crazy fast in a speedboat, getting knocked up and down by the waves - I have to say that this was quite a challenge. Just as I track down the racer through my viewfinder, by the time my lens focus, they are gone...then trying to hold the lens steady as the boat rocks back and forth and just as I'm ready to click the shutter, my lens get splashed by the crashing waves. Despite all that, I had a ton of fun, met a lot of nice people and got some neat shots while I was at it. A ton of respect for those sports photographers out there who do this all the time and still get amazing shots!
This was my ride! See that little space up in the front with the metal bars? That's where I was sitting (hanging on for dear life, mind you, for fear of my camera going overboard!)
