Forget Star Wars you have to see Trawler Wars

I put life and limb in danger for these shots!!!

Love the colours and the water flying across the shot, certainly looks dangerous and like great fun! There's certainly a story behind this sharp image!

Thanks

Crazy stuff and a nice, interesting story/background too it. A tad busy, but I think this would work well as a newspaper article picture or something along the likes.

Nice shot!

Hi Roger,

Probably put the camera in danger too?

That's a nice capture of zany times. Great colors. Do you have a series? For me, what is missing is a subject or something to anchor on (pun intended) as are stare at other parts of the image.

BR,
Tim

p.s. I've had some of my best water fights in a boat. So, what's going on here?

This is one of the times it would be great with a very versatile zoom lenses. The picture is fun, and I'd like to see more of what it makes it so funny. Zoom is the solution! And post more pictures of the event, maybe you have another one that's also cool.

I was just dangling the hook!! and guess what a bite - Its the Weymouth Carnival (Water based) and the trawlers all dress up and have races in Weymouth bay. As you can see this is just after they cast off so they do not stay dressed for long.

What really impresses me is the close quarter manouvering - NO colissions!!!

As for a series - how about 150+ pictures!! Here is another in the series.
