Block Island Race 2009: a wide angle kind of day

Our day started out at Indian Harbor YC, taking photos for the club for some US Sailing Youth Champs promotional materials. We took some more traditional shots as well, but liked this one that we took with a fisheye lens.


With blue skies and a little bit of haze, it was a good day for shots with a wide-angle lens, and we took that mentality out on the water for the 2009 Storm Trysail Club Block Island Race shots. And despite light wind, the shots came out very nicely. See the photos here.


What a great night to sail around Block Island, and a great start to the summer season on Long Island Sound. 2009's going to be a busy summer on the Sound, with many big events to photograph, including US Sailing Youth Championships, Block Island Race Week (not quite LIS, but close enough) and many classes' North Americans and Nationals.
