San Francisco International Dragonboat Races.

I was out at the bay front shooting in the pre-dawn and saw a dragon boat crew going through their paces. The sky seemed appropriate to their efforts.

Went for a walk near Granville Island and came across these old dragonboats collecting dust under a nearby bridge.

Despite the rain, they did manage to hold a few races. These racers were getting psyched up on their way to the next race.

This was taken at the 2017 Portland Dragon Boat Races. There are several teams of people who have survived cancer. These race and when they return to shore they are received with flowers and paddles held high in an arch.

Spent a great day with colleagues dragon boating on Friday. Took the opportunity to continue experimenting with time stacking images. This image uses both time stacking and an opacity blend to soften the result. Thanks to GWN www.gwndragonboat.com for some great photographic opportunities.
