p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Hydro boat...1200mm


Today was test/tune for the Diamond Cup Hydro races on Lake CDA. First time
for the hydros in over 40 years on the lake.

While I shot most of my day with the 1DMKIV, this shot was with the new Canon
600mm version 2 lens (borrowed from Canon), with the 2X TC (version 3) on the
full frame 5DMK3.

Shot settings: 1600 shutter speed
F8
500 ISO
shutter priority, auto ISO, plus 1/3 ev

SO............this is basically a 1200mm shot, using the 5DMK3 body on a 600mm lens at F8!!!

Back lit to boot!! Image was only cropped about 5% on the right side to be rid of obtrusive boat nose.
Normal marginal LR settings.

Boat speed estimated at 160 mph.

Got to love the new bodies firmware to push F8 abilities!!!

I like it I would like to see more, did you try any slower shutters and panning?

Thanks for the positive comments....

pedwatt...the position I was in on the above shot, this would have been the last image able to be taken prior to clippign the ends due to being TOO long. I was trying out the setup of the TC on it to get them out of a corner, so my shutter speeds were up to get sharpness.

BUT..... I did do some panning shots as I love a good pan shot at speed.

So the first one here is with the 600, but on my 1DMKIV
And the second is at a hydro race last year down in the TriCites (Pasco WA)..and one of my favorites.

I really like the panning shots, and I have added this to my "must shoot one day" list, looks fun and challenging
