The Crestock Photography Contest 2007

This is really an image that expressed the idea of speed very well. The boats are literally flying through the air. It also shows the fierce competition in those races. Well done.

This is the kind of picture that I would like to take some day but first I need a beter camera.

I like it very much actually. What camera and lens was this taken with?

I like the splashing water - it really gives the feeling of speed.

Thanks Mark for your comment. This picture was taken with a Canon 30D and a 35-350mm L zoom lens at 1/1000 sec.

I expecially like the colors in this image. Was there any post-processing done?

Hi David, thanks for your comment. I did the usual post processing: cropping, levels and contrast adjustment but no blurring or anything else to create a false speed effect. The colors look better on the original image. Here they look a little dark and dull.

another image with good comments but still no votes...i think you also know who commented these...can you tell me?

great shot, Great colors excelent Idea good luck.
I believe all photos in this comp deserve atleast one vote, for people going to the trouble of entering a pic which to them represents "SPEED DEMON" everyones idea is different which makes a competition interesting. Good work :-) cheers
