This weekend a world cup series offshore race was held in my hometown along with a national (Swedish Championship) competition for smaller boats. Of course I went down to the shoreline to get some shots (and to get some practice with my Sigma 150-600). These guys (and gals) seem absolutely fearless when racing at insane speed across the water - quite spectacular and photo friendly.

I have had an amazing time documenting the sunsets provided by the wildfires in Canada. I feel terrible for even saying that knowing what they are going through up there. This was taken across a pasture with a 300mm at f/4.5 with a 6D, ISO 1250.

"Sunflower in Mugello, Tuscany"

I got this and some others "Sunflowers" based shots during a post-work tour in Mugello - Tuscany, near my office.

Alberta Cup

There was a mountain bike race at the Canmore Nordic Centre last weekend, and I ventured over with my camera to check it out. This is my favourite place to ride, and it's only a few minutes from my door. Watching these elite riders smoke down the trails was pretty impressive.

Congrats Pat, great photo!

[Kayaker72]

Agreed...great shot Pat.....

You've really developed an amazing series of nightscape lighthouse photos.....

[conropl]

Thanks guys.

I like lighthouses at night... after all, that is what they are built for. At night, nobody is around.

I had to walk quit a ways out on the channel wall, and the further I went the narrower it got with busted up cement, holes, and trip hazzards. Just before I headed back my head lamp started acting up... luckly I carry a backup flash light. I was hoping would hold up.

But overall, a nice beautiful calm night.
