This is my favourite wipe out photograph of all time.
You can’t shoot watersports without happening on the odd wipe out here and there. They get…less than interesting after a while. Big splashes of water. Occasionally something special will come along, and this is one. I don’t think it would have worked from any other angle to be honest with you.
Because it’s winter and because I have a 40D and can, the ISO is up at 400. The photograph is also cropped pretty heavily, so there is some digital noise. Noise Ninja wasn’t giving me great feedback because I really am not that good with it yet. I’m not too bothered about it. I’m not sure I’ll ever do a big print of this. I tend not to, lately.
I haven’t been taking so many kite photographs this year. I guess even though I’m supposed to be kitesurfing rather than kite photographing, it’s nice to go and take some photographs to remind myself that actually, I can do it and well. It must be a girly thing to lack the confidence to say “I’m damn good at this”. Some of the other shots today – well the weather helped. The colours are amazing. And it’s nice to be somewhere that the sea is something other than a murky grey such as I get to play with in Dollymount most often.
and I really like this one for some reason.
and I love the colours in this one.
The wipe out looks like it might be Cills, I’s say he’ll be chuffed bout the fact that your favourite wipe out shot involves him
Great collection of shots though, fair play.

Oh it is one of his alright, you can trust me on that.
Glad you like the shots. I’m glad I like them. It’s been a while since I even tried to do this stuff.
