America's Cup AC Series Race

Ok here is the companion to this weekends post. The second AC Series race to take place in San Francisco also happened last week. The final race took place during the Fleet Week air show. Basically the organizers of both events collaborated on timing. The air show started at 12:30 and ran to about 1:50 at which point the final AC Series race took place. After that race, the Blue Angels took to the sky and finished the air show. It was nice to see them work together.

So, here are some pictures of the boats. My previous post from the first AC race here in SF were taken from Point Baker which is on the opposite side of the bay, these are taken from Crissy Field. This meant I was the gate side of the racing box, thus only seeing one turn around point, I was not able to see the finish line. (I was able to get much better pictures of the boats, but I also had to shoot through a lot of spectator boats.) One more race before the big event next year which will give me a chance to work on position. (I may have to spurge and pay for a good spot, unless I can find a boat right. :-)

This is a fun way to learn more about my camera, pictures and technique. Now I have to convince my wife to allow me to get a better lens.

Enjoy the pictures.
