Image Location : Captured from the costal cliff path by the Needles.

The Round the Island Race is an annual yacht race around the Isle of Wight. It starts and finishes in Cowes, and is organised by the Island Sailing Club. The course is about 56 miles (93 km) long. The race was first held in 1931.

This image was captured about noon using a Panasonic Lumix GX8 with a LUMIX G VARIO 35-100 F/2.8 set to 85mm (equivalent to 170mm on full frame camera). I was hand holding the camera and using autofocus on the sea. The camera was set to Aperture Priority f/9 giving a 1/800th of a second exposure at ISO 200 with daylight white balance. The RAW processing and final adjustments were all done in Photoshop CC.

I have a large set of images from the race in an album on Facebook, here!
