The GOOD news: My photo's from the National Meeting are finally posted. Which also means that my scanner is working again...<img src=icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle>
The BAD news: My good sports telephoto lens took the regatta as it's opportunity to crap out the exposure settings and way over-exposed the film, so as a result most of the on the water images are a bit flat looking. I have cropped them and tweaked the settings a bit to bring them back to life but there isn't a lot I can do at this point.
Take a look... Click the link below and select the "View Pictures" ... that will start the slide show. At the end of the slide show you can begin again. It also gives you the opportunity to purchase prints.. Please don't waste your money. If you want prints tell me which one and what size you want and I can get them out to you for my costs.
Feel free to "right click" and of the images and save them to your computer.
As you view them make a list of who is who and send me names of people / boats in the pictures so we can correctly caption any that make it to the Mainsheet.
Here is an updated link that should let you in to the album where I have posted names:
I live with 'em all the time! <img src=icon_smile_blackeye.gif border=0 align=middle> Enjoyed the pictures, let me relive the fun time we all had at Nationals!

Man it's times like this when I realy miss my C-25. What a great slide show. You all must have had a wonderful time. Thank you for taking the pictures and sharing them. Hope some make it into the Tell Tail.
I'm guessing that ?554 is Steve Milby... What a great shot (#30) of a C-25 with beautiful trim going to weather! I'm gonna frame that! If I had a tall rig, better sails, a vang, and probably a few other things I don't know about, I Passage could look like that!
Thanks Clif (and Steve),

Well I spent a lot of time posting names and comments with the pictures but for some reason they don't show up on the "shared" album so I linked the page to my original images with the comments...
Fantastic photos!!! Wish we could have been there, too. My wife and I both teach high school so could not get off work for this regatta (son graduated on Thursday night June 12 and both of us HAD to give finals to students on Friday, June 13. Next year my daughter graduates and we still must teach. Maybe next summer the nationals could be at least a week later maybe??? We are out in SoCal so somewhere central might help, too. Anyway, I sure would like to race with you all next time. Maybe I need to be more proactive and make more noise as to dates for next year?? <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle> Who will be making those decisions and when? Eleven months planning time can be a good thing...... <img src=icon_smile_approve.gif border=0 align=middle>
Here is what Tina managed to get. Although, the focal length on the digital camera is a bit short, there are a few nice shots when the boats were close enough.
As Clif mentioned, don't bother ordering from shutterfly (I shrank all the pix as there were so many). I will email you any pictures you may want. The resolution is much higher too (1536x2048).
I for one had a fantastic time at the regatta ... first time on a race course, and it was with Steve Milby! What an example to aspire to.
Don Peet, I tried to email you and it bounced ... could you send me your snail mail? I have a CD for you.
I'd also like to thank Bill and all the organizers again!
