How Do These Look?

nzmacro · May 18, 2014

Been through and looked at the threads Jason, fine shots and work. Love seeing the expressions on the faces, never lose that. Approach clubs, sponsors and even submit a few to magazines. Clubs is where I started off selling shots, drivers, mechanics, sponsors, corporates, not to mention girlfriends and wives, all love to see where their money goes and what goes on. Always take profile shots in and out of water, awards given out, etc.

Now days its fairly easy to find club and sponsor emails, even manufactures (Jackson Kayaks I see in your shots). Don't forget race committee members, they have a ton of info on who is who. I can even get out in rescue boats today for on water shots. Find a local club, what nights they meet and get along there Jason

introduce yourself and find out what's next on the calendar. Here we have a site which offers all the emails, drivers, sponsors, race committee, etc. See if you can find something along those lines for these folks.

If you are starting out, keep images around 800 x 600 on line if you link them.

People love to see themselves in action Jason, so never be shy about it. Post on line and a few links sent out. See a local club to start with.

All the best Jason and they will love these shots you are taking for sure.

Hi Danny,

did a bit of searching to find you here.
A lot of people are looking for you on dpreview
see NZMACRO / Danny: Sony Alpha/NEX E-mount Talk Forum: Digital Photography Review

I assume you were fed up with the techno BS and not much photography that is now going on there

Here is a small present of a shot here in Holland a few days ago

still learning

all the best

Ha, howdy Pete

Not far wrong mate, just gets too overpowering with all the gear talk

I'll get back to there in awhile Pete, I like the mix of gear here and not just the one brand Pete and sometimes DPR just drives you nuts, LOL. Been doing a lot of chasing power boat races as well around the country, so been busy.

All the best Pete and good to see ya. Fine head on shot as well, excellent to see.

I really, really like these! Only thing that I think kind of takes away from them is the shadows on the faces in a couple of them...but there's really nothing you could about that, looks like the position of the sun+the helmets.

If I were one of the kayakers (or if I were the photographer), I'd be incredibly happy with how these pictures turned out. Great job!
