Jan and I blagged our way into a yacht club yesterday and got permission to photograph the races! It wasn't very difficult as there was no wind. Thanks to everyone for the comments on my last post. You might see a few more like this one from both Jan and me.

Good strong graphic image of the sails. It was really an asset to your image that the skies weren't totally blue that day. As always, nice work!

Wonderful lines and angles Nigel. Believe me photographing the boats is far more preferable than watching them race. Yacht racing may be wonderful to do but is as dull as ditch-water to watch!

Marvelous detailed and clarity in these sails. When I saw the title it reminded me of the oil paintings I use to do when I was younger was called paint my numbers, lol.

Super capture

Ah ha. There is a hidden mathematical riddle in this shot, right? I give up already. I never got past algebra. LOL. Interesting shot, Nigel. Very artistic.

Good shot of a windless sail in action Sir Nigel. I like how the numbers show in reverse as well. Take all those number and addem' up and I bet you and Dimps had a great day.

Nigel, where is the rest of this boat? ( O I see.. Jan has them) ; ) Great photo with quality! Ofcourse I do like that you picked a part of the boat and present it like you do. That's photography! Mich
