We spent a week on vacation and did some water skiing and tubing. Shooting tubing is hard because the boat is turning and banging about so much in the chop. I had quite a few frames that I discarded with half the tube completely cut off because we were bouncing so much.

As you can see from the tube, it was pretty choppy out there.

those are great considering they were taken from the boat. That is very hard to do if the water isn't calm.
