The day was perfect, little or no wind and a full Sun all day. I have never been to the records week before so I was feeling my way, not really knowing the best vantage points or even where the measured Kilometre was located. I had a chat with several very helpful competitors in the paddock who kindly explained the best places to view the boats during their attempts.
I used the D3100 with an 18-105mm f3.5-5.6 VR Nikkor for close up pix of the boats and the closing photographs of the end of the day and a D200 with the 300mm f2.8 MF mounted on a monopod for all the longer range photographs. I prefocused on the point I expected the boats to pass, quite a high proportion were acceptably sharp.
