JSRA Jet Ski Racing, Scarborough 2007.

The light on Day 10 was warm, sunny and with a mild breeze, the sunshine kept breaking through mist during the morning. Most of these photographs were taken with exposures around 1/500 - 1/1500 th of a second, using an effective film speed rating of 200 ISO. Because I was further back on the beach today the longer end of my 100-400mm zoom lens was put into action.

I would recommend a range of lenses (or a super zoom) to capture the action and the atmosphere, ranging from wide angle up to 500mm (or the longest you have available). When its overcast a tripod would make sense, but it can limit your ability to react to high action situations.

Sand and cameras really don't mix, so you need to protect the camera as much as possible and avoid interchanging lenses in the open, keep cleaning throughout the day! The intermittent sunshine and clouds meant faster shutter speeds were attainable, but still the highest quality ISO 100 eluded me for each of the 5 days that I managed to attend the Worlds.
