When I was in Egypt we took so many pictures that never see the light of day, we end up saving them for the magazine and yet come the moment we only need one out of the hundreds that fill my hard drive. So having spent the week clearing out my inbox I though a few windsurfing pictures rather than shot from the two weddings that bracketed my week.
The wife loves a wedding so with Shaun’s last week and Jem Hall’s this I was scoring plenty of house points, though she did say it was about time she was hanging off my arm rather than my camera, hence the quick look back at Egypt.
Actually I really enjoyed the challenge of taking picture for the test and with two issues now in print I thought I’d share a few of them with you. The one I like the best is the RRD twintip as it took a few of us to get it right, in fact so right it looked too good and we had to take another.
The first shot looks like it was done in Photoshop so we just lowered the board until it touched the water to show it was real, only thing I didn’t notice until later was the board swung and wasn’t perfectly square on, though I quite liked the final pic.
For most of the shots that week the set-up took a lot longer than single click of the camera, though there was a minute where the sails looked like it would all fall apart but it’s a good feeling when it finally come together.
