Now I love a great still shot
well composed, beautifully lit, interesting boat related subject
I was stills at the start - although my dad had a super 8
then I took stills of tractors for farmers weekly
Now I do video
I take the occasional still and lift the odd frame grab for a website
But generally I like seeing things move
for me it suits sailing because sailing is all about movement. Even when it is still then it is moving a bit
I think that The film of the massive Irish Lock and Peters films about sailing around Britain

They both show that if you shoot it right in the first place then you don't have to do a massive amount of editing.
I am keen to hear stories from sailors who tried video and gave up on it -
love to know why it just did not work for you?
battery life.... wind noise... too much data....camera drowned....
editing bores me to death.....my crewmates started to hate me and the camera
all perfectly rational reasons for not bothering it
does anyone never take pictures
what about water-colours
how do you preserve your sailing memories?
I have decided that a human head is a terribly unreliable place to store them
