Behind The Lens

Location

First, my apologies for taking so long to complete this! Sadly my computer crashed! As Administrator of the T & T Sailing School I was responsible for all the sailing and racing activities of the school. During the racing season I would be in a safety boat following the dinghies as they raced in the Gulf of Paria west of Trinidad.

Time

Racing usually began about 1 p.m. and went on until sunset.

Lighting

Just a normal tropical sunshine day!!!

Equipment

This was a small Fujifilm point and shoot...

Inspiration

I love the water and I love sailing... it was also part of my job to record as much as I could on film.

Editing

Some cropping and a bit of sharpening

In my camera bag

In those days, my camera!

Feedback

My advice? Shoot what you love! If you're near the water, learn to sail!
