A quick catamaran featuring a holosail, 2 stabilizing holowings, and a 2 persons cabin. Ideal for leisure and small smuggling operations.
NoVVember!
Here are a couple of views from the catamaran on our return from Ryde to Portsmouth. Here, from left to right, you can see the Lipstick Tower, Portsmouth Cathedral and the Royal Garrison Church (with its missing roof) and also the newly rebuilt seafront, which runs by the moat.
Don't worry because I haven't commented or replied to your comments since yesterday. We had a bit of drama yesterday cos Tim came home from work early - his boss noticed he didn't look very well and suggested he leave. Tim hasn't been truly right for the last week or two, falling asleep often and not sleeping very well at night. He's been a little bit sick a couple of nights too and feeling hot in bed. So yesterday afternoon I went with him to the walk-in centre. I knew it would be busy and I wasn't too surprised that we were there roughly 4 hours, leaving at just after 8pm to finally come home. Nothing obvious was found after ECG and other checks were done so he will try and get a doctor's appointment soon. Today JJ and I had a day out with Matt and Sophie (National Trust house, Woolbeding House, booked a while ago, but I could see Tim would just want to sleep anyway. Will catch up with comments etc soon.
Hill Inlet Catamaran, Whitsunday Island - shot on the 'Away - The Art of Photography' workshop last year.
I've been fortunate to do quite a bit of aerial photography. Not as much as some of my professional friends, one of whom was telling me he was spending all day, every day in a plane doing survey work. I guess too much of anything becomes monotonous, but I wonder if the pilots at Hamilton Island ever get sick of flying out over Whitsunday Island and the nearby Great Barrier Reef?
Aerial photography is greatly affected by the weather. Sometimes you can fly to where the light looks interesting, on other occasions you have to make the most of what is there. Last year we had picture-postcard perfect weather for our helicopter shoot. Part of me was ecstatic, but another part disappointed because some cloud and inclement weather around the islands can look really interesting and moody.
However, I wasn't complaining and I dare say the people who hired the catamaran in the photograph here were pretty happy as well. They are sitting at the mouth of Hill Inlet up the north end of Whitsunday Island and Whitehaven Beach. The water really is this colour (and I know some readers might doubt the veracity of a statement like this from someone like me - but no colour pixels were transformed in the production of this photograph).
The challenge when shooting from the air like this is nailing the exposure. It's important to retain detail in the white sands, but fortunately, there is so much light being reflected up that most cameras automatically reduce the exposure, so chances are your shots on automatic will be okay. Of course, if you have time, take a test shot quickly, check your histogram, then move on.
In recent years, restrictions for flying over Hill Inlet have become tighter and tighter. Essentially we can fly around, but not over the top. Nevertheless, a telephoto lens will get you in close enough to create some great pattern shots. These photos were taken with a 70-200mm zoom. Normally I recommend a 28-70mm zoom or similar when shooting from a helicopter, or take two cameras with different lenses which is what I did on this occasion.
So, which shot looks better?

And will we see you on Hamilton Island this June for a helicopter shoot and four days of fun?

Parece no tener prisa,solamente una total serenidad,con su vela abierta al viento,siente la palabra libertad y acariciando la espuma al pasar...se aleja perdiéndose en la oscuridad del mar.

Double exposure (with Holga very easy ;-)), one shot in and one out of focus of this beautiful old wooden boat in one of the harbours of Karlstad.
Is the dream over?
Over 20 years ago, two friends started building this catamaran. At first they met several times a week, then every few weekends and finally only sporadically. The ship will probably never see the sea.
Ben and I did an LDD file swap where he send me a model and well, ..this is what I've done to a copy of it.. just for fun. Don't kill me Ben! xD
Overall design is by Ben and all credit to him!
