Another Batch of Impulse Shots

I hear you always afraid of someone losing control and getting hit lol. Here's another geico shot.ImageUploadedByTapatalk1341357405.773072.jpg

For vertical shots, try and get more of the roostertail (and a shot down the tunnel), that's my favorite type of verticals even on full size unlimiteds and offshores. I like the shot though, looks like she's flying pretty good!

You have inspired me to try the raft! I'll let you know how it works out the next time out!

I'm looking foreword to seeing the shots! That's the idea with the roost on the UL-1 shot, trust me when I say it works even better with full scale unlimiteds with that massive tail coming off the skidfin. It also worked really well when I was in the dinghy out and about among an offshore race held at my marina a few years back. I've gotta pull the shots off my external HD when I get a chance and put them up.

Cool. Look forward to seeing them

I won't have stable enough internet to upload until tomorrow, but I will get some full scale shots up soon! I like the latest Geico shot, she's really flying there (Just like last time I saw her full scale cousin in person).

That's cool whenever.. Yeah that's my buddies boat. Gets up into the mid to upper 50's.

Here's a few examples of using the roostertail in a vertical (or horizontal) frame as well as a few low angle shots of a fullscale offshore (taken from approximately the same height as my Impulse shots from the same dinghy)

Very nice!!

nick, those are some good shots just a little underexposed. If you are shooting manual or priority, remember to "shot to the right". It's hard to draw detail out of a underexposed shot.

The real world shots are taken from the "wrong" side in that the shore/spectator areas are facing the sun rather than the sun behind them. To properly expose the boats would require overexposing the background by a lot more than I'm willing to adjust for every image.
