Yacht yard

[hoanpham]

I have some photos of a yacht yard worth sharing.

The yacht yard had been closed down and moved to another smaller, less suited location last year. I haven't spoke with the people worked there, but they all seem sad when I shot these photos. At least these people won't be unemployed for long. They are the best within their field. I also got reflected that they truely know their tools, while most people calling themselves photographer still wander around with settings/lights and deliver crappy photos to their clients - my own experience as client.

Two brand new boats in multi million class (30-40feet) delivered each year, started from raw wood. Around 10-12 maintenance jobs/year. The big white machine/sail was build in 5 years, customized to fit the gate of the yard - which is about 3cm less than the gate.

The lenses/gear I was used are:
- Pentax A 50/1.7
- Pentax M 135/3.5
- Pentax K 85/1.8
- Pentax DA 12-24 (I need AF sometimes)
- Sigma 8-16 (used with both AF and MF)
- 2 sunpak pz40 mini flashes (manual, power vari) with colored gel, radio trigger/receivers (need to control light sometimes)
- Pentax K20d body, split screen

Cheers.
