No Wake Zone

Panning during the 2003 Fort Myers Beach Offshore Grand Prix & Air

Show. Shot with a Canon Elan II and Sigma 400 5.6 with a 1.4 TC on

Provia F100.

Wow Dave...nice shot.

I'm npt sure what cropping you did here but I would have like to see more space in front and depending on what it looked like the backwash behind the craft.

You have frozen the moment well in time, maybe a wider aperture blurring out the foreground water would have made it even MORE pleasing to the eye.

Balancing the composition through cropping (rule of thirds) would also help here.

With the background boats available, maybe small aperture and ND filters to slow the speed down could have given a different take on the movement with some good panning.
