Would You Like It...?, a photo from New York, Northeast

Photographer's Note

How would you like it...

If the drums were pounding in your ears
If the wind was blowing in your face
If the water was splashing in your eyes
If the oar was as heavy as lead

Would you like it?

Dragon Boat race. At the bottom, different styles of drumming :)

hi Lamberto

I like the series of photos here that you presented to show the race. It must be fun to photograph this kind of action shots. The challenging part is always the long boat which needs the width of the photo yet taking up little height space, so your crop is good.

Hi Lamberto!
Well they seem very keen! So, they must be enjoying it! I myself would prefer a quieter boat race of the Cambridge-Oxford type, or just rowing outside a race!
However, I like the way you have presented this race. Unusual on TE, and yet very appropriate, as it gives the feeling and puts us in the atmosphere!
Best regards.
