[Leica] BOATING PAD - Sailing on "Bewitched"

[philipprice80 at yahoo.com (Philip Price)]

Hi Dick, I enjoyed your boating pictures, even though I am a steam loco man 
! If you are into this genre have a look at this web site : www.beken.co.uk 
when you have been around as long as they have its almost the history of 
yachting. Regards Phil.

Thank you Lluis.? Pictures of boats per se, like those of locomotives or 
cars, probably have a fairly limited audience and pictures of people having 
fun on boats would almost certainly be more interesting for most.

I take and post so many boat pictures, first, because I really am interested 
in boats, and second, because I'm trying to improve my ability to take 
boating pictures that are dynamic and interesting.? I *am* trying, however, 
to work more people into them as time goes on.

I need to be careful how much I take pictures on board, too.? My sailing 
friends are tolerant of photography, but there are limits ...? ;-)

Regards,

Dick
