Cowes Classic Round Iow Photos!
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

PHOTO KEY:
1. A random getting air before setting off round the island
2. Scorpian...YEEHAA!
3. Excaliber retiring
4. Bananashark racing giving it some on the home straight (looking good Cookee)
5. Bananashark about 1.5 seconds later

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!

If anyone in my area (isle of wight, west solent) wants some pictures taken, I'm your man !

Thanks all for you kind comments.

Cheers

Tim

PS as I said, hopefully more up tonight.
