3. Panning, just a touch off, but the only decent one that had something else besides the boat.

Number 2 does it to me too ! Would love to see such an event up close and personal !

Yes No2 is the pick for me too. Just about smell the fumes! Well done

#2 is really great

I kinda like the framed by the rocks. I probably would have worked just as well if all were sharp.
#4- Is that a new anti-gravity helicopter? What's holding it up in the air? You don't see the prop like in the other shot.

Good work!

Yeah it does look a little weird. You can just make it out, the blades are facing directly at/away you.

Thanks all, thought it might be a nice quick break from the wheeled stuff :lol:

A quick bit of info.
Taken in Napier, NZ
The first 4 are of the superboat class. I think they run twin big-blocks 525ci which put out about 1200 horsepower, and can get them up to 190km/hr in good conditions.
