Cars and Transport Competition 4 2013 : Entry Number 286

Wow thats a great action shot for something that I can imagine would be very hard to capture, technically I would have liked to see a possibly wider view and a little more detail in the sky and water but overall a very accomplished shot and worth a merit for sure! Well done

It’s an honor to be selected from such stiff competition! This was taken just above Niagara Falls using a Canon 7D and a 500L. The hydroplane was traveling around 120 mph. These boats displace a tremendous amount of water – the background is the spray from another boat on the backstretch. Quite a sight to see. Thanks for making my day! - Bob Magee
