New Camera Trials

I am not a photographer, just a guy with a new Sony H300 and an interest in taking more/better sailing pictures especially on the subject of sailing instruction. Let's see...

Mainsail with very tight halyard tension, draft forward and leech closed.

Mainsail halyard eased, draft moved aft. Sheet tension as above.


Mainsail as halyard as above but sheeted hard, less twist in leech

Jib with minimum halyard tension, forward jib fairlead. Not much twist and lots of draft.

Jib with same sheet position and tension as above and more halyard tension

Jib with more halyard and sheet eased, fairlead moved aft, more twist.

Kite up and ghosting along.

Foredeck crew... in training.


Interesting results, after a fashion. I see the need for a plan and more notes. Pictures on the fly don't have much context.
