Own boat pics

Ooooh! This is like 'Readers Wives'!

Well, mine is not nearly as pretty as some of others on here, but maybe that is why we get on rather well together - and I do love her dearly.

Not sure if this counts but took this one myself.



Sometimes I get to use my own boat as well!

My favourite even though we're not even sailing, a Bank Holiday Monday motor home in no breeze with the BBQ on!

My boat by me, shot from a motor boat hired for the shoot in Yachting Monthly.

The fact that few people have photos of their own boats was what led me into yachting photography. I used to photograph the boats taking part in Falmouth Week, and any other local events. Take the pics, get them into a local lab for 1 hour processing (it helped the lab was run by a mate), then display the photos on a board in the tent that night. Sell photos buy film and processing and so it went on.

A photo boat helps greatly with getting pics, but it's not essential. I've taken to a dinghy and tied it to a channel mark, stood on breakwaters, or used yachts as photo boats before. It's being in the right place at the right time, and being in a position to get the shot that's the difficult bit.

This was taken from a tender...

There are various hints and tips and stories behind some of my photographs (for anyone interested) at http://grahamsnook.com/news/page/4/

A breezy day in the Solent:

This one is an early test sail, first time playing with the asymmetric, and it was just a great day on the water. I'm lucky to have a couple of pro photographer buddies, and Toby Adamson came along for a sail and took some shots as well.


This one was obviously never my boat, but I did have a hand in building it, and it was the first new yacht I had built, so will always be pretty special. I was driving the RIB for Tom Gruitt to take some shots for a magazine article.
