On a beautiful day in the Bahamas, the winds were just perfect for a reach. I probably took 20 photos until I got the spray to light up correctly. It was really hard to get the angle that would make it shimmer like it does - I took more photos the next day but even with direct light on the spray, it didn't have the brilliance that this one produced.

Hehehe! I though it was a Steb's photo. Marvelous positioning, Kent.
And for once a perfectly horizontal horizon. Much appreciated ;-)

Very nice shot. I quite like the shimmer in the spray you caught. The only sure way to get a good photo is to take loads of shots. Patience is the way to get that perfect capture. :) It only took 20 shots huh? Not bad. I usually think a good bad/ratio of 1/100 is acceptable...

Great shot Kent. Sailing photo's are so often all about the spray.

It's rare I give anyone a 10....this one gets a 10. Excellent! Perfect composition, increadibly rich colors, and amazing detail in the chrome fixtures and wood grain. The spray is very cool, but what makes this for me is the combination of the spray AND the churning white foam on the starboard side. The LACK of detail in the sky and water also lend perfectly in putting the emphesis where it should be. Well done!

Again.. this is a great image. You have captured so many of my favorite things... the water, the sails, the feeling of the spray... Man I wish I was sailing again!

10/F!

You're making me sea sick! /-/0 An interesting perspective and lines in this image. Not maybe the best dt image but it's certainly artistic. Good color saturation and sharpness and well expsosed despite the bright sunlight. Good work. anne

I've been absent from my friends at Caedes for awhile. Have been busy shooting, writing, learning, and mostly being humbled. I'm back and I look forward to viewing and sharing again. Blessings, anne :-)
