America's Cup race 11


Hi, I can't help to post more photos of the America's Cup.  Above photos were superimposed so you could see the movement of the same boat(s).  Top photo shows New Zealand went around Gate 3 during Race 11.  Bottom photo shows USA and New Zealand dashed from Start Line (blue cones) toward Mark 1 (orange cone) during Race 12 which was eventually postponed due to high wind.

More America's cup excitement, that's great. Interesting ghostly raft image in the foreground of pic#1.

Thanks Warren! Do you see the white wash kicked up by these boats. I can't believe they don't have motor. The SFFD boat appears ghostly because it was only in one of the two shots. The panorama program you found probably tried to blend it in the composite shot - Simon

Thanks Lena! Because of the crowd, I was pretty much stuck at one spot. My game plan was just focus on the starting line where the boats were closest to me. I shot half roll of film without reframing. And got some very neat time-lapse images.
