Ok my two cents worth?.

I use the 2x and 70-200vr?. I shoot from a small boat moving very fast in bad light conditions photographing other small boats?. Yes I get some photos that are soft?

But the ones that are not are awesome?

Read the manual, reread the section on focus modes? keep the VR in on-normal mode?

Peter,

I would recommend the faster glass also, I spend a lot of time photographing boats and speed is everything. Here in the Pacific NW we get a few where the lighting is less than optimal and the IS lens Do make a big difference,

I need a little help with mailing some prints from Seattle to London,

13? by 19? inkjets from a Canon i9900 printer on Alford pearl paper.

The question is how to pack them?, flat or tube?

and if flat any tips for doing so.

Thank you

Keep low in the boat, keep your shutter speed way up, and don?t lean against the boat (motor vibration) stash something to wipe the water off the camera and keep it close.

If it gets rough out be careful of your cheek/face, some of dinghies can be moving at 15kts and I have taken some real bashings from the camera.

Some of the sails will meter lot lighter than the boats and crews, also a lot of light reflected off of the water; it can make for interesting shots.
