WOW. Incredible photos Pete. Thanks for sharing! :)

[Ratickle]

Nice Pete, really nice.

I tried to talk Terri into one of these so my lense would be bigger than your lens. She's not buying into my reasoning though.....

great shots!

[glh]

I'm far from an expert but that looks more than a rub!

Thanks for the phenomenal pictures!

[smokeybandit]

Awesome Pete! What equipment were you using?

[MattBMiller]

Great pics! Those boats look like a blast

[Maximus]

Pete All I can say is WOW!! Tht pretty much summed up how it felt. I believe that sequence will find a way to my office wall :)

Was there any damage to your boat? I've watched the vid and seen the pics and haven't seen any yet.

And that would look real good on your wall. But as long as it's there they'll probably never let you race anything but a Geico boat........:sifone:

[cigdaze]

Stunning sequence Pete. That's some awesome shooting.

[Ted]

Incredible pics Pete. Glad everyone is okay. Let's not try that with the Mystic, okay boys?

[lucky strike]

Great shots !

[cosmic12]

Thank you, great shots and I can't beleive he drove that back o the trailer!!!!

[bcfountain]

those speed skiffs are wild.you have to be crazy to race one

[Maximus]

JS- 9 suffered minimal damage. Neither boat was drivable. Scotty' bs quick reaction saved those guys lives.

[OldSchool]

I'm only making light of it because everyone is OK... But it's kind of funny that the dude had his hand on his head right before the impact. That would be a good "caption" contest photo!!!


"Ohhh, this is going to leave a mark"!!!:ack2:

[Gladhe8er]

wow, what a sequence.

[Smarty]

I want a ride in one those Jersey Speed Skiffs. Looks likle fun "on the edge."

I was driving my 15' Boston Whaler everyday this past week while on vacation in Cape May like that speed skiff. All in fun, wrenched every last ounce of performance out the Whaler I could.

Those pictures are great.

What did you use to take a picture of the camera? Just kidding.

As much as people think it's the equipment, the photographer does all the work. I could have the best equipment in the world, but my pictures still would not be as good as yours.

[MOBILEMERCMAN]

wow, what a sequence.

For Real! You could see Mark and Scotti"s eyes at the OH FU K moment.

[Geronimo36]

High Rez in addition to the lense is important but if you have enough megapixels you can basically zoom in as close as you want with a photo editor without distoring the image! It ain't like the old days!

Case in point, my avitar is cropped and was taken from about a mile or two away. ;)

Anyway, I still can't believe what happened and great sequence!

[Hauling Trash]

Superficial damage to the hull but the running gear caught hell,prop,shaft,thrust bearing and mount all totaled.Chain coupling split on the crankshaft. But I'm not complaining it was fun watching driven to the max.


Nice Job

[AugiePensa]

Unreal photos Pete. Great Job!
