Motif: Sailboat Races

© Heather Forcier, all rights reserved

Ok, this is an old one. When I first started photography I was invited to photograph sailboat races from the committee boat. My main objective was to get at least one shot of every single boat participating in the series of races - for the most part I was able to do so.

The sky was quite dramatic, and fall foliage (not quite so evident here) made for a fantastic background in many of the other images.

This is an old scan, probably cropped too much and most certainly not a large enough file. But it was one of the images I first thought of when I found out about the motif.

Nikon F5, Nikon 80-200mm f/2.8 AF, handheld, Provia 100F, likely matrix metered.
