..... race in Hermosa Beach, CA

Not sure what these boats are called...pontoons? Kayaks? Dinghys? Either way, we went there for what we thought was a Surfing convetion, and stumbled across this event. Consisted of rowing from one side of the pier to the other side 2 times, running out to a flag in between. Heres some photos I took using my 100-400L. First time taking pictures of a sporting event, so C&C is welcome, and encouraged.

John

Cool shots! A tad dark, but you managed to capture the intensity of the sport!

Thanks, Marcus. I was standing next to a guy using a 5D with a 600mm prime...needless to say, I got lens envy.

Speed,
Yeah, they are dark. Most of these were shot around 9-10am, and there was a bit of cloud cover. I tried to minimize the amount of PP done. The brighter ones, were done so using DPP.

My wife says I can get the 600mm prime after I buy her a house with an ocean view and I save enough money to pay my baby boy's college education. Looks like I'll be waiting a while....

OR....
you can ask for the prime 600mm NOW, then say you'll be taking photos and selling them to magazines or whatever. The funds from that, would be a down for an ocean view home, as well as your son's college education.

**Off to run that by the wifey**
