Slalom with Style
THE SUBJECT:
This very stylish young waterskier cuts through the water sending up a wet curtain as he lines up for the next buoy during the 2009 Australian National Waterski Titles.
THE LOCATION:
Photographed at the Stoney Creek Holiday Park, Telegraph Point water skiing complex of man-made lakes, just north of Port Macquarie , NSW, Australia.
THE MAKING of ‘Slalom with Style’:
Once again mostly overcast conditions with varying light made consistent exposures difficult. As part of my experimentation under these conditions and in panning waterskiiers I even tried shooting in high resolution jpg for a few frames.
Fuji S9600: Manual settings of f/7.1 @ 1/500sec, Auto focus, ISO80, Hand held.
Lightroom 1.1 & Photoshop CS3.
Visit the Sport & Leisure collection in my BubbleSite Gallery for more waterskiiing action.
UPDATE: 25-8-09
This waterski champ was awarded a MERIT in the Port Macquarie Panthers Camera Club’s July 2009 Open Print Competition in the Large Colour Prints section.
Enjoy!
