[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is a holiday weekend here in the US and with the excellent weather many will be spending it on the water. My wife, daughter and I spent yesterday at Havre De Grace, a small waterfront town situated where the Susquehanna River meets the Chesapeake Bay. The town is a photographer's delight; so many photo ops waiting to be taken advantage of. If you want to learn more , please visit the Havre De Grace website by clicking the link.

This fellow was moving at quite a clip and jumping the wakes of the boats that were coming and going. I took several short bursts and this shot caught him airborne. Even though it was bright and sunny, you can see the haze as you look across the river.

PP: +contrast, +saturation, crop, resize and sharpen.

Thanks for viewing. I hope everyone has a great Sunday.

Hi Werner,
I saw someone on one of these when I was watching the sunset last night! The last time I went on a jet-ski was when I was about 8-years old. You've done a great job to capture this (especially in mid-air), good use of the semi-fast shutter speed. I quite like the long panoramic crop you've chosen. Nice focus on the main subject, looks like you used a fairly long focal length to get this close. Well seen and wonderfully captured.

TFS,
Scott.
