Sports Photography

The shot above was taken from the headland by the golf course between Elberry and Broadsands beaches. Elberry is very popular with the speed boat crew and their waterskies and wakeboards, kneeboards and biscuits etc. I'm well zoomed in there but the light is coming from exactly the right angle which helps make it a half decent shot.

Wakeboarding and Kneeboarding at Elberry

Many a chilled Summers' evening is spent down at Broadsands and Elberry beaches, a pleasant walk from my house, under the little railway bridge, through the feilds to Broadsands, then over the headland by the golf course and down to Elberry cove before returning the same way. Along the journey are many photo opportunities on any given day, there are often speedboats and jet ski's which make good targets, but if they are present then the chances of seeing a seal are greatly reduced I think.

 

The guy on the left was pretty good, trying much more complex tricks than that though I didnt manage to catch any, notice Thatchers Rock well positioned in the background. The shot on the right I think captures the moment well; that split second of adrenaline now frozen in time.

Skateboarding

This is just the result of one session down at Paignton's new skatepark. Rob has come on a long way in the last few years since I have known him and was bustin some good moves around the new park. Also Punkus is never far away and you never know if he's going to be on a bmx or skateboard or even a scooter!
