The Oracle acrobat zooms straight up as part of its remarkable acrobatic demonstration at the 2009 Joint Services Open House Airshow at Andrews AFB.
The concept for this shoot was a modern-day Oracle.
A mysterious young woman who lives in an abandoned building, receiving her guests and telling them their futures- for a price.
The gorgeous model, Rachel Lee, did a wonderful job at embodying the character through grace and fierceness. This was my most gratifying (and sweaty) shoot yet and I couldn't be more happy about the pictures.

The Oracle Arena - 7000 Coliseum Way in Oakland, California --
Scott Ferguson (BSE NAME '85) and Bryan Baker (BSE NAME '03), both members of the ORACLE TEAM USA engineering division, take notice of a mural of emblems representing the various ships to moor at Bermuda's dockyard. Ferguson and Baker are walking back to team headquarters after an afternoon of testing on the water.
ORACLE TEAM USA is preparing to compete in the 2017 America's Cup. The race will take place in Bermuda, so the team has setup shop on the small island nation off the eastern coast of the United States in order to perform iterative design testing and practice racing its hydrofoiling catamaran yacht.

I generally don't like product placements in my photos, but in this case it was impossible to avoid. Anyway, Oracle makes database programs, and this thing is hardly a database. :)
I called it a thing because from this angle it looks more like a flying machine than a sailboat.
The hull (or hulls), are made out of carbon fiber. I could not find the weight of the hull alone, but the entire boat outfitted for racing weighed 17 tons (short tons; 34,000 lbs). This is extremely light for a boat that carries 13,000+ square feet of sail.
I like industrial stuff, and I like sailing, so I had a lot of fun shooting this event (that took a few days). I grew up racing sailboats (12' to 45' in length), so I can relate to the excitement of using the wind and water in a competition of design, wits and skill.
This one is my first test with the Yashica Mat 124G. I believe that they are not bad results. I have to try a minor range aperture.
