To take my response images to Ian's work I went sailing on a 19ft Cornish Shrimper on the river dart. I was hoping to be able to take pictures of the boat sailing from a rib but i was unable to do so. This means that my images were not quite in the still of Ian's. Most of Ian's compositions are action shots of the boats sailing not shots of the scenery, but he does occasionally take images from on board yachts like I have. The images of his that i chose were all taken from a chase boat as in my opinion they are more effective.
