Powerboat photo???WTF???
 

I've been in photography for more than a few years, but this one I saw in the latest PB magazine, page 19, of Lucus Oil is one that boggles my mind..

The photog should be awarded the photo of the year...

My questionare:

1) Is it a Nort Photo shop??? :D

2) Is it from another boat??

3) Did the helo pilot wet his pants..???

4) What kind of camera/lens did the photog use..???


Great shot guys, and congrats to the person that took it...

I agree!
Without a doubt the most awesome photo I have ever seen in that mag..:cool:

It seems as though over the past few months the pictures have been absolutely stunning! Last months showing the Donzi/Cig accident and this month, all I can say is WOW!
Good Job Powerboat Mag.!

I loved that pic. and thought the exact same thing!! Either that is one ballsy pilot or one looooong lens!!

1)---there isn't any wake behind it.

Still a cool pic IMO.

just got my issue and wow, you really have to see the pic int the magazine to appreciate it.

I only scanned 1/2 of the photo..It actually is a 2 page

(horizontal photo)..

Sheesh.. The more I see it the more I appreciate it...

Wow, if that's not photochopped, then it's the first flag looking rainbow I've ever seen.

That truly is one of the most amazing shots I have ever seen in a boating magazine. My hats off to the crew and photographer once again! :cool:

One would say he is trimmed well?

I bet the chopper was low just beyond a turn, sitting and waiting for the perfect moment.

They missed the WHM roll over shots......but I got them.:)

WOW!!!! I need one like that of my Scarab!!!:cool:

Damn...I just noticed that...

That's my scanner that added those horizontal bars..They are not in the mag photo..

I think it's from another boat and he still wet his pants!
That has to be the best action shot ever... unless there is something else I haven't seen?

That's not an action shot.....THIS IS!!! :D :D :D

By the way.....there's no wake cuz it's not in the water!!!!

Norty You are bad! I knew I was setting myself up! :D

Could it be because it's in the air?

Yeah, when opened up the mag and came to that photo, I just stopped and stared. Unreal...........

RON P..

I hate to be picky..but those boats are angling AWAY from the photog....

:rolleyes: :rolleyes:


Young NORT..

I copied that from you last year, and have converted 43.7 kneeldown, OPC and Unlimited Hydro race fans to OFFSHORE fans:D :D :D

how about this one:D

Wake? There is spray all over the place in that photo. It's no where near as bad as the picture on page 89 with the boat moving and 3 people sitting up on sun-pad area.

MAKE THAT PAGE 86!

Cool rainbow too, huh? :rolleyes:

===
HUH?? Here is the photo on page 89...Cap are you still sippin the 2004 chamagne???:D :D

I just set it as my back ground, looks great and I'll use Nort's at work where my wife can't see it.

That is one fuggin cool picture. Period.:cool:

OHHHHHHHHH Make that page 86

Yea PB stepped up as soon as www.extremeboatsmag.com
came out


since then they have been adding way better pictures and more of them also :crazy:

I'm not a Tom Newbie by any means but me and my little Nikon got this shot in Orange Beach from a patrol boat.

Sweet That would make a great poster in my office

Thanks for the plug Cap. I'll have magazine's for everyone at the OSO Party in VA later this month.

I'm proofing it right now. Photo??? We have hot shots from Jamie Russel. He got Reliable going over and I got WHM. This issue has:

Jetset revisited
Orange Beach with Typhoon racing.
The Naughty Key West Worlds.
Gauges by Liverosi
And an article on OSO!!!
Plus Steve's girl Sam>!!

Just being honest. Hey maybe you can get some Pictures from the (small) Philadelphia get together also :eureka:

Liberace's drunkern cousin?? :D :D :D


Scott B

It would have been easier to say Gaffrig but I can't.

cool pic it blows my mind wow

post #19 is trimmed out just nice, not much drag in the water LOL, thats how a boat should ride!! lmao I wonder if it tends to do the deathdance/chinewalk when it touches back down lol

that is a totally awsome pic , i give it photo of the year:) :)

Awesome photo! :)

I'm not sure it's any better than the WHM air shot from about 6 months ago in the same section from nearly the exact same angle. That was equally impressive. NK

Just a normal day in a Scarab.
