Meowsers, i use a Nikon D70 as a primary and D100 as a backup. I've got the 18-70mm, and for the tele-zoom all i have right now is the 80-200mm 2.8 ED. Hoping to upgrade that next year.

Title: Photos of the Victoria Dragon Boat Festival Post by: dto on August 17, 2004, 11:24:47 AM The 3 photos just above the Hydro "hat" guy are of the Diamond A Final.
That's us (Alpha Dragons) in Lane 4, Xtreme Reach in 3, & Eye of the Dragon in 5. The Navy Dragon' Anchors were in 2, & TD Lightning in 1. Xtreme won, TD was #2, Navy #3. We were 4th - by just 0.6 secs, d*mmit. AND only about 1.5 secs out of 1st, double-d*mmit. I think we were catching up on Xtreme, too, by about a half-seat on every stroke in our Finish, but ... oh for 10 more metres ... sigh! That's racing!! :) Good shots, Photog. Title: Photos of the Victoria Dragon Boat Festival Post by: Sun on August 17, 2004, 01:53:15 PM Great pics! Makes me wanna go next year!

Guess who's leading? hmmm . . . comments from the PR crews? nice pic btw. Title: Photos of the Victoria Dragon Boat Festival Post by: paddleboy on August 17, 2004, 08:00:58 PM Sorry ..........not allowed to comment due to gag order ,lol :wink: You got to love lane 1 though ,grrrrrrrrr . But we are all just 1 big happy family . :D
You just have to love where Capital Iron is in that pic,lol .It's nascar dragon boat , :shock: hahaha Title: Photos of the Victoria Dragon Boat Festival Post by: Swordfish on August 17, 2004, 08:02:17 PM In the second pic, boat 3 wasn't PR Echo...I think it's Gorging...they had two guys with gold paint on their heads on the right.
That last picture would've been the morning semi-final race on Sunday...I knew that at the end of the race that Capital Iron somehow got on the other side of Gorging but had no idea it looked like that!! Title: Photos of the Victoria Dragon Boat Festival Post by: Kibble on August 18, 2004, 12:16:18 PM Nice pics...good racing guys...too bad I missed out this year. :( I'll have to clear my schedule for next year!
"Team BC Hydro" is actually TD Lightning, but is a combination TD/Hydro mix of paddlers. Hydro didn't send a team to Victoria...but we hired their steersperson and a few mercs! |
