Oeps! Water on my lens, a photo from Noord-Holland, South

Photographer's Note

On this picture you can see how difficult it is to get a dry lens. Not al my pictures are 'dry'. Nevertheless i want to share this picture, because the action is great! I have post a similar picture, but in this one you can see both ships with their masts.

This photo is also taken at the Amsterdam Seaport boatshow. You see te Zest of Belgium and the old Withbread W60 Brunel Sunergy. The Zest had overtake the Brunel. They race here to the last bouy. I take the picture from a RIB on at the North Sea near the IJmuiden harbour. It was sunny with 4 beaufort.

I hope you don't mind the drops on my lens??

Hey Robbert! Superfoto! Ik vind dat water op de lens geen enkel probleem. Hoewel misschien niet volgens het boekje, ik vind het zelfs wat toevoegen. Een soort natheid-factor. De actie en het superschuin hangende schip zijn erg indrukwekkend. Goed werk!

Great shot Robbert - you surely the master of sea and boats. Great action shot and I think you lens problems only adds extra to the dramatic situation.

Very fine work - thanks for sharing.

j'aime beaucoup ton titre.... très bien trouvé. ce que j'apprécie sur ta photo, c'est cette notion de tumulte qui est rare sur tes cliché.... sympa! d'habitude, les bateaux que tu nous présente ont l'air calme... c'est pas le cas ici

Very beautiful photograph, difficult to execut and dangerous for the material.And the water drops on the ojectif one make the realistic action.
Very good composition and exposure.

Great shot, well done Robert.

Inutile d'ouvrir la vignette pour reconnaître notre Maître en régates. Toujours un réel plaisir de découvrir ces bateaux taillés pour la course.
Belle réussite photographique Norbert. C'est vrai que les appareils photos n'aiment pas beaucoup l'eau de mer !
Excellente composition.

Great action picture Robert. Wonderful colours and lots of details and the water on your lens - well, it contributes the action in your picture. Well done.

A great action shot, Robbert. The tilt is very dramatic, and the water dropa on your lens add to this feeling. I looks like an amazing speed, and I always wonder, how do you get such a shrp picture in a stormy sea? Well done.

Pas genant à mes yeux l'eau sur l'objetcif ca approte un petit truc en plus et puis l'action c'est action !
Belle prise de vue.

Ik ben laat maar nooit telaat, inderdaad een beetje pech met het spatten op de lens, maar dit doet niets af van de waardigheid van de foto, 4 Bf en de boot zich zo lichten niet voor mij, aan de fotograaf denkt men weinig nietwaar Robbert.

Only one word..FANTASTIC.

Wow, this might be one of the best tilts you have captured in any of your boating shots, Robbert. Great action feel from seeing the two boats on the wavy water. I don't mind the drop on your lens at all, I think it gives this scene something genuine and authentical. Well done.
