The annual dragon boat race in my home town was last weekend it was my first time out with my dSLR so don't expect miricles LOL

Loved the way this bloke was filming under a big "fun" sign

Camo-what?

hulk-tastic

Angels walk among us

This young lady wasn't a fan of the music being played, strangely good taste for one so young I'd say

During the "safety brief"

Edit - forgot to say all photos taken hand held with my minolta 5d with an old 75 - 200 lens

Good captures, looks like the essence of the event was caught very well, especially liked the Cops&Robbers boat, and the intensity of the first shot.
