A strange thought... /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
I love messing around on water, and also very much enjoy photography...
Would love to take more photos of boats - saily things or those motorised ones - if anyone would like photos...
If we could arrange suitable times / dates, I am happy to come along and shoot photos for no cost at all. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
I am a reasonable photographer (LRPS), have a decent pro digital SLR and live nowhere near the sea /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif but am only 1 1/2 hours from the South coast (often down around Southampton / Portsmouth), and prob. only a couple of hours from the East coast (North Wales & Scotland a bit far perhaps!) Am happy to travel somewhere...
Ideally we would need to arrange it so that I had a means of photographing your boat from another boat - perhaps several forumites at the same time? of course we would need sunshine & a nice force 4 / 5 for a bit of action! If you want overhead shots - you will need to provide the helicopter!
I have taken a few boat shots recently, though the light was terrible, and I was on a yacht which was racing at the time, so not ideal... they can be seen at: www.alasdairkirk.com log in with user: boat & p'word: photos (they are very crunchy saved for the web...) Nos 6 / 9 / 14 / 18 / 22 are processed, the others not yet...
bad light often gives good b&w as some of those show (I am currently working through the others), though of course sunshine does make it look nice!
If anyone is interested - not a lot to lose, I will happily see if we can find a time when I am free, and you are planning to be on the boat anyway, if the photos are dreadful - it hasn't cost anything - if they are great, then it still hasn't cost anything - I will have enjoyed the day out - hopefully it might work!
Files would be provided in RAW / TIFF or JPEG as preferred and you can print happily at 16x20, and even up to A0 if you wish...
Only constraint would be that I would restrict any commercial use of the photos - you could do what you want with them non-commercially...
so - any takers? could work well, esp. if several boats in the same place at the same time wanted photos...
anyway, worth asking the question...
