Photos above were taken last Saturday in Rewa. The wind was even at 20 km/h on average and 25 km/h max wich means 4B, the direction was W. Most of the kites stayed on the flat water while some windsurfers enjoyed the chop within the bay.
The photos presented were taken using MF Pentacon 300/4. Apart from its manual focus the lens' apreture is all manual too so the challenge was to keep the kites in focus while tracking their movement. Panning proved to be useful as the surfer stayed in about the same distance from the camera for a while.
I was not totaly satisfied with the shots and I wish I could stay longer in the evening when the wind was even stronger and the light probably better. I hope you enjoyed the photos though. Feel free to comment. See you soon on furbovision.

OdpowiedzUsuń20km/h to niecałe 11 knt... chyba więc drobna pomyłka ;P
OdpowiedzUsuńGreat photos despite manual focus.
OdpowiedzUsuńI adore discussing wind force:))
OdpowiedzUsuń1 nautical mile = 1.85200 kilometers, thus 11 knt = 11*1.852 = 20,372 km/h which is roughly the lower limit of 4B.
Two guys with an anemometer reported the wind to be 20 to 25 knts which would be force 6B wind which seemed unlikely, although your comments in this matter are highly appreciated. regards
