On the Water Action Photography-this the tagline for The Photo Boat, a company out of Conneticut that specializes in taking photos of boats on the water. The Photo Boat founders are a couple who love sailing and photography and have turned it into a career. While I talk about my difficulties doing photography under sail, they take it to the next step-see the photos below:

I appreciate that even they have the occasional crooked horizons and blown out skies, but still have great photographs. This tells me everyone has skies that don’t cooperate, and that obsessively straightening horizons is not always the best use of my time. They are photographers that work hard to get it right, right from the camera…lost moments from a regatta can’t be “found” in photoshop.
Here’s an example from a recent regatta:
It’s a GREAT photograph.
And if it it were my shot I’d be thinking “I should really straighten that horizon and is this really worth keeping if the sky isn’t blue?” Grrrrr….need to work on seeing the forest and not stressing about the trees.
