Cowes Classic Round Iow Photos!

[slimtim]

Having been under severe pressure from the Jackeens to get these up I have eventually sorted a few out.

I have picked a few but have many more. Hopefully all the good ones should be up on my new photo site www.elementphoto.co.uk which should be up and running sometime next week (so please go and have a look!).

All comments welcome, good or bad, especially from other photo people out there.

If anyone wants any or knows anyone in the boats who might want to buy some then please PM me!

All photos Copyright me...obviously

Thanks for looking and enjoy!

Cheers

Tim

Also, 1 in the first list is Mr Noisy. It's a Velocity 32 I think with twin 502 V8's.

1. Not a great photo but its a pink boat just for Kathleen
2. Bit far away but quite dramatic!
3. V24 class racing for the finish
4. One more team explosion (possible caption competition?!)

For those of you who are interested (TQBoater), I am using a Nikon D70 digital SLR with a Sigma 70-200mm HSM EX f2.8 lens and a 512mb Ultra 2 CF card...oh and a plastic bag to stop it all getting wet!
