Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Waterski Crash 1 (80-400)

First shots this weekend, captured lots of waterski racing, and here is a few from a sequence of a crash nearby.

My first time out with the new 80-400VR, great reach, used on a monopod on the banks of the Murray River, Echuca/Moama.

Damn I just realised that was the ski in the fourth photo. I though he'd hit a pole :shock:

Nice sequence of events, specially considering the speed they get up to!

lucky for him, it was his ski. However the water is only 3-4 feet deep there :shock:

I was framing the boat, when I saw the rope slacken, so I missed the initial fall, but got the remaining tumbles...

had a great weekend expereimenting with the new 80-400VR :D
