You hear so much in the press about young people causing trouble and generally being a nuisance. I would like to draw everyone’s attention to the 160 youngsters that I photographed at the Burghfield Sailing Club Optimist Open meeting on Saturday. Demonstrating sportsmanship, competitive spirit and independance, they really highlighted the postive side of being young.
The photography was a little challenging though! I spent most of my time alone on an island in the middle of the lake with no company other than a dead goose, trying to photograph directly into the sun. Luckily as the day progressed, the fleet spread out a little and the increasing cloud cover allowed a little more creativity.
As you may already know, I love sailing and am passionate about boats. If you fancy giving it a go, for you or your kids, why not have a look here:-
