Jetsprints under lights

[X-images]

I went to my second round this year of the New Zealand jet-sprint nationals on Saturday. This round was under lights which really pushed my gear to the limit. I hadn't been to this track before, and in hindsight, a 70-200 2.8 would have been a better option than a 300 f4. All shots at 6400 ISO and f4 @ 300mm.

And racing was delayed for nearly an hour when 3 boats in succession crashed out of the first, and fastest corner of the course in the dark and the course crew were called in to make modifications to improve visibility on the entry to the corner...
