[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
After my special 300th posting it's back to normal again with the jetski championships in the North of Eindhoven.

A lot of action again, curving around the yellow buoy (Sorry Henk, again no orange..). In the workshop you can find a just before and just after picture of the curving around the buoy.

I really like the shade on the buoy in this one. I took quite some photographs of jetskis curving around buoys, but the spilt second of being in line with the sun is hard to catch.

I like the slang expression 'throwing shades'. I actually only learned it recently. It means to talk trash about a friend or aquaintance, to publicly denounce or disrespect. When throwing shade it's immediately obvious to on-lookers that the thrower, and not the throwee, is the bitcy, uncool one. (Source: urbandictionary.com).

In this case, the 'throwing shade' is literal. ;-)

hi Dennis,
the mask the man is wearing looks like something from the "War of the Worlds" :) another great photo from this event, I like a lot the exploding water behind him, it contrasts nicely with the dark calm water in the foreground that creates a great natural frame. superb action shot, full of intensity and motion, my compliments.

with best regards,
Kristine

Bonsoir Dennis
encore une très belle photo sportive avec une qualité irréprochable. j'aime beaucoup ces gouttes d'eau figées. Beau travail.
amicalement

Dag Dennis,

Ik heb met veel aandacht gekeken naar uw reeks met de jetskiëer, verbazingwekkend hoe de mannen het klaarspelen met deze stuurmans kunst.
Maar hier vergeet ik de fotograaf niet, want dit beeld maken is al geen gewone opdracht, goed moment afgewacht en juist in de bocht de ultime klik.
Mooi gedaan mijn vriend. Bedankt!

Prettig pinkster weekend,
John.

Dennis,
Wow !
So sharp, so great action catch !
A great one, amazing job here,
Regards,
JB.
