Fishing Bay Yacht Club
This past weekend was the 2009 Chesapeake Bay Laser Masters Regatta at Fishing Bay Yacht Club. As the event chair it’s a lot of work to get everything together to put on an event like that. On one hand it’s a relief to have that behind me, but that also means the sailing season is over for the year.
The event turned out great and I got to take a lot of great pictures. The overcast clouds and periodic ran made it a little hard to get good pictures, but I did what I could.
This weekend I was at the 2009 Southern Bay Leukemia Cup Regatta in Deltaville, VA sailing about Wavelength in the PHRF-A fleet. Last year I took photos and did a regular video.
This year my experiment was to take and collect photos from the event and immediately post them to twitter via the Fishing Bay Yacht Club twitter account (@fishingbayyc). I had a couple people emailing me photos from their camera phones throughout the event. During every free moment I had while racing, I would download the pictures, edit them, and tweet/post them to twitter/flickr. Having image editing apps on the iPhone made this work so easily. The only downside was the spotty coverage out in the middle of the bay, so downloading/uploading went slow.
All and all it was a fun experiment. I want to thank Goeff Cahill, Gary Hooper, and Scott Turpin for contributing photos to the video. The event website including results can be found here.
This weekend I got out to help with Race Committee and photograph the Fishing Bay Yacht Club Offshore Spring Series #2. The complete collection of photos can be found here.
I am making my directing and producing debut with a highlight video of the 2008 Leukemia Cup Regatta at FBYC. I used my Canon SD870IS to take a bunch of short clips of the regatta, party and awards.
I also have some photos that are posted here.
Happy 4th of July.
This week I got to take the afternoon off on Tuesday to go sailing and photograph Junior Week at Fishing Bay Yacht Club. Here are more of the junior week photos.
Pictures from the Flying Scot North American Championship are posted.
Photos from the Women & Junior Championship have been posted.
