Photography: Personal or Professional
The sport of Unlimited Hydroplane Racing is exciting for a number of reasons. Plenty of power; plenty of speed; plenty of fun. These are enjoyed in person by many, but how can we enjoy the action if we’re not there, or in the off-season?
Photography
Yes, video is a way to enjoy it as well, but today, we’re talking about photography. If you’re a long time Damn Smart Fan, you probably once winced at the following image at the top of the home page here on UnlimitedHydroplaneRacing.com:
I’m proud of this because I took it myself in New Zealand a some time ago. Sure, it has water, a few boats, and even one of them going “fast.” However, it really doesn’t have the PUNCH that pics have from other amateur photographers with more talent than I (much less you professionals who REALLY know what you’re doing!)
Let’s add some additional eye candy to the site, shall we?
Introducing Photography Focus
Unlimited Hydroplane Racing is seeking photographers – professional and amateur alike – who would like to donate a photo or 2 (or 3) to be placed in the rotation in our web site’s header. Although my New Zealand photo is long gone, your photos will live on, appearing at random with each visit to the site, or when the page is refreshed.
In exchange for you providing us with free “fast boat action shots” we will publish a story about you, your work, and how people who need great photography can get in touch with you.
| Whether your gear looks like this: | …or like this: |

…we want to hear from you! It would be a great honor to share your work, and tell your story!
How This Works
Send me some of your favorite photos, along with a rough essay on you, your work, your equipment, your area of focus… anything you’d like to share. I’ll weave that together along with your shots and create an article about you. It will include links to your website, social media accounts, email – whatever you want to share.
The goal is to get some Damn Good Photography for our Damn Smart Fans while promoting the great work you’re doing. Your photos will be enjoyable, but your story may inspire others to step up their photography game.
