Atlantic Rowing Race 2009







I was pleased to be asked to photograph an ocean rowing boat that is being entered into the Atlantic Rowing Race 2009 http://www.atlanticrowingrace09.com/ as it was being loaded onto a trailer at Wood Vale Challenge based near Landrake Cornwall, for transportation to Poole for onward transit to the South Atlantic for the race to start on 6th December from La Gamera Canary Islands to Antigua.

It was a challenge to get any images, as the boat was only taken out of the workshop at the last minute and I could only photograph it from 4pm onward, 45 minutes of fading light meant an iso speed of 1000 and eventually flash had to take over as the main lighting.
