Photographer’s Note
El domingo fuimos a la competencia ‘Red Bull Air Race,’ alrededor de 300.000 personas vinieron a la orilla del río Swan en Perth a ver la competencia. La idea de la competencia es volar a traves de un curso de obstáculos en el menor tiempo posible. Los aviones alcanzan hasta 400kph y fuerzas de hasta 10G.
¿Te has perdido alguna ves en una muchedumbre? Bueno yo deje a mi familia cerca del evento y me fui a parquear mi carro. Ellos se fueron a encontrar un buen puesto para ver la competencia. Cuando yo regrese llame y les pedí direcciones pero les entendí mal (la versión de mi esposa) y di vuelta a la izquierda en vez de la derecha. Después de caminar cerca de 45 minutos en un evento muy concurrido realicé que en lugar de acercarme me había alejado por mas de 2 kilómetros de donde se suponía que ellos estaban. Eventualmente los encontré. Yo era el que llevaba las bebidas y los bocadillos así que mi esposa estaba desesperada por que yo los encontrara.
Fue un día muy emociónate y divertido.

On Sunday we went to the red bull air race around 300.000 people came to Perth’s swan river foreshore to see the race. The idea of the race is to fly through an obstacle curse in the fastest possible time. The planes reach up to 400kph and forces of up to 10G.
Have you ever lost someone in a crowd? Well I did left my family near the event and then went to park my car. They went to find a good spot to see the race. When I came back and ask for directions I misunderstood (my wife version) and turn left instead of right. After 45 min walk on a very crowded event I realised that I was about 2 km away from them and that’s why I could no see them. I found them eventually. I was the one carrying the drinks and snack so my wife was desperate for me to arrive.
It was a fun and exiting day

Hola Marco,
Linda imagen del avion, me imagino que la carrera fue realmente emocionante. EL tipo sacando la foto a la izquierda no me dice mucho, yo lo cortaria.
Saludos,
Daniel

Hi Marco,
I like this shot, good timing and it gives shows us the huge amounts of crowds across the river. The guy on the left is also a nice detail.
I saw the same event here live in Rotterdam. I must say I was a little underwhelmed. Yes they go fast, yes they fly low but the race element didn't really hit the crowds. If it wasn't a race it was fine too. As a TV event it's even boring to me. Good picture though! Gilbert

Wow, that's very well framed ! I suppose it was hard to have the plane at the right place, with the guy on the left. Impressive realization.
