Went over to the bridge today and caught the poker run group on their way to Key West.
Out-of-this-world lineup of hardware- always an incredible experience to watch and HEAR these beasts.


Gotta give a big, big shout of thanks to my sponsors, including HOTBOAT.
Very much appreciated, you guys make this possible- thank you again.

My mood can affect how I process, but mostly I aim for realism- always adjusting exposure and saturation for the overall 'feel'.
The light is almost perfect from this perch.

It's always nice to get a perfect shot, but I have no problems adjusting an image to get what I feel is the look it needs.
I've always been as much visual artist as photographer. :peaceful:

This one is no crop or processing- the last shot before the bridge can be tricky with the telephoto, they are moving pretty good...

Water was too sporty (5-7's) for my back yesterday, so I bagged the run out to Boca Grande Key and elected to sit at the Pier House all day and have a few beverages with friends. It's a great spot to watch the boats coming in and out of the harbor. Managed to collect 1750 pieces of evidence. Another fantastic day in Key West.

My friend Brian got a new toy...

This was my 6th year and from photo viewpoint it was above average.

Haven't done a race yet.

Boating never stops down here.

Our largest events of the year
Ft Myers Offshore Turkey Run, New Year's Run and our annual overnight to Sarasota are three.

Racing on Sunday was sporty- winds had things pushed up.

HaHa. flickr is telling me I have 137 images in the Key West 2012 Gallery (http://www.flickr.com/photos/jay2boat/sets/72157631956828364/detail/).
Those are about how many I've managed to process so far.
Thur-Sun, 4 days ea over 1200 frames. HaHa.

The Thursday run is probably my single favorite day of the year (along with Saturday at Shootout)...
the obvious thing the pix lack is audio, and it is so sweet out there on that bridge
as I am shooting, I have to force myself to think about the sound as the beasts rumble under my feet

there is always, always, always something special about the first boat

Here you go Mateo. This was DS 2008, boat is called La Habanera, 39 Quattro. You can't see me but I was right of the owner driving it for a leg of poker run. It was quite popular with Hot Boat and Power Boat the years I went with the owner. We also flew from Phoenix to Havasu in his Citation 1. :Dhttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/12/11/20/gy9u9a6e.jpg

No kidding- I actually think about it often- technology has made some cosmic changes in my life over the last 20 years.

Back in the day I always resisted the urge to buy a motor winder for the camera because I knew it would be an easy way to burn up a LOT of film. :anonymous: At the time I had an ad agency and shot strictly ektachrome slides because they gave the best color reproduction when printing. Can't tell you how many thousands I spent on processing and 4-color separations- still have boxes of slides somewhere.

I have always been a huge fan of photo-illustration (big surprise, huh?) and I used to dream about what was then called a 'graphics workstation'... 150K for a computer system with less processing power than today's average smartphone. I could fantasize and visualize a finished piece, but in those days you needed a color darkroom and lots of time to do any kind of special effects and that equipment wasn't cheap. Glad I didn't make that leap back in 1977. ;)

Did a year-end tally the other day- shot 40K frames last year, which is down because I missed fantasy fest and some races, and the Bimini Challenge did not happen.

Still... think about how many rolls of film that would be, not counting processing costs- just the raw film. yikes. The Sunday folder from Key West has 1849 frames in it- culled down from 2200.
That's 62 rolls of 36-exposure film. At $3 ea thats 18 hundy for one day, before you leave the room. (ektachrome was more like 5 a roll IIRC late 70's)

I've always been a fan of technology. Bring it.
I want a camera that can also be a projector and have real-time webcam broadcasting capabilities, weigh less than a pound, and have unlimited battery life.
Call me a dreamer. :biggrin-new:

It was a bit sporty, wind had been light but steady all week. What makes that spot interesting is the tidal flow-
coming in and out around the point creates a pretty good hole. Always makes for great pix if you're on em when they hit it.

Combine an iPhone with a few cool instagram filters and wa-la...

I remember an anecdote from an engineering class back around 1970-
even back then reading license plates in Red Square with the satellites was passe.
They supposedly had the ability to 'see' about a dozen feet into the ground.

who knows what's next? I'm ready, bring it. :glee:

I've been experimenting with some composite ideas-
mostly involving multiple images of one boat.

I started working the concept a month ago when a friend asked about whether I had pix of 4 specific boats and could I put something together for large dock/boathouse mats?

Of the four boats, I have zillions of three of em, but the fourth... he came on one run with our local group, three years ago and I got one shot of him on that run. heh.
That sure feels good when it happens.
