Introduction
This book is written specifically for amateur photographers who wish to improve their action photography of boats. Powerboats, sailboats, big boats and small boats can all be photographed in action and these techniques will give you the tools to create exciting images. Learn how to choose a location and set up a simple photo shoot with your boating friends. Understand the benefits and hazards of photographing from a chase boat and by standing in the water.
The camera you have now may be very adequate and you shouldn’t automatically think that you need the most expensive gear. This book will tell you how to get the most with what you have.
There will not be much detailed discussion about photographic principles. There are many comprehensive resources that can provide good education, including the manual that came with your camera. Instead, this book will concentrate on such issues as technique, positioning, composition, timing, etc. More than fifty action boat photographs, taken by the author, are included to illustrate the discussions and provide inspiration. The original camera settings are included for reference.
