 Okay, seriously tough to shoot... LMAO... Clocked at 76 MPH, this three foot long hydroplane known as a rigger was on the other side of the lake. It wreaked havoc on my autofocus, and was incredibly tough to keep up with.... I can only image what the scale speed of this thing was. All in all really fun. Nothing crazy with the editing, levels and curves, unsharpen mask, saturation and tonemapping...

Nicely done! They were racing the full sized ones in the local river last weekend, but I was too busy to get out to shoot any photos of them.

Good composition and great effect with motion blur had a sense of speed the water gives it a visual effect too
