New to the forum so thought I would say hello with a wet one.

I've never seen one of those. Anything in the water scares the hell out of me. And that boat doesn't look like the safest craft ever invented. I imagine it must make for good photos, though.

So what kind of gear are you shooting with and how do you shoot something like this? I've shot some wakeboarding from the back of the boat. Are you just shooting from the back of another boat? Are you moving or on a boat at anchor?

And welcome to the site. We need more photographers on this sports forum :)

Not that scarey they only flip every now and again. Shooting with Nikon D100 & 70-200 F2.8VR. Shot from the back of 7m RIB.

Thanks for the welcome

Hmmmmm. Sounds scary to me.

Nice lens! You should post a review:

What else do you shoot? Other sports? Other types of photography?

I shoot most sports on the water from kite surfing, canoeing, sailing, yachting, powerboat racing also equestrian & motorcross.
Apart from sport I do commercial & weddings now & again.

I will sort out some more intersting images to post up over the weekend.
