Eight Straight
 

Damn.

Feels a bit different... sitting here at the house on a Saturday
not sure what to do with myself, so I guess I'll post some pix.

Over the last eight weekends in a row I have traveled somewhere to cover a boating event.
For those of you keeping score- that's nearly 20,000 frames...
about 500 images posted so far (zero re-posts, no office furniture :evilb: )
I never would have guessed that what started out as a hobby with Ft Myers Offshore
would evolve into something that has taken over my life (in a good way). :drink:

I've made so many good friends doing this, and meeting more every weekend.
It is just so damn cool and I am enjoying it so much, that now I can't imagine doing anything else.

Just in case you missd something, here's a quick recap of the last couple of months.

Preparation meets opportunity.
 

Sorry, that is the whole shebang. (npi)

Because I was under one edge of the pier, there were lots of race fans close by and a nonstop stream of people walking right behind me. I was constantly checking to see what I could see. :cool-smiley-026:

Caught her coming toward me and had time to turn the camera (it's on tripod) and click off two frames.

Because it was a race, I had the long lens on. Generally speaking, I like to get the entire subject in the frame. You can see her legs are cut off-- that was as far back as I could go and she was walking towards me. clickclick

What you don't see is the photog behind her left shoulder carrying a tripod. They were heading for a beach shoot- her makeup is perfect, new bikini, etc.

timing is everything. :drink:
