I.s.r.

The wife an I popped down to the coast this afternoon to watch the International Submarine Racing event that has come to the North East for a few days.

It was a lovely day for it and we had a great time cheering the British team on and as you can see below the completion was fiercely fought...

Pity the Russians are in the Med., I understand they are very competitive! But still, I think you captured the event well.

So, you didn't need to pan to get the action?

I don't see any indication of submarines underneath; something wrong with my understanding?:(

It was bright enough to let me freeze the competitors as they raced by with a fast shutter speed.

Perhaps it's a monitor issue?

Funny! You caught me looking1

I see a beautiful ocean with some mild ripples; that is all :rolleyes:

All joking aside, it really is a beautiful image very well executed in the minimalist style. Lots of layers, subtle as they are.

I was on the very edge of my deckchair when I took this and moments later lost the end of my biscuit as the tension was so great I forgot I was dunking it in my tea.

This is probably going to confuse a greater proportion of the membership than claims to be photographing a submarine race. It's okay folks, it's a British thing!!

:)

It was a Garibaldi if you think the extra detail will help :D

What? Not even a Rich Tea. No wonder Britain lost its empire. When people start abandoning Rich Teas for something called a Garibaldi, then we know society has changed ... and not for the better!

And just what do you think is causing those ripples Nandakumar?

The submarines of course!

Unfortunately,

the T.U.E. controversy will always cast doubts on this British victory. A complete submarine crew suffering from asthma, hay fever and pollen afflictions...but only before big races; and their contentious use of Total Underwater Exemption by surfacing tae perform at only the major championships, kinda like East Germany and Carl Lewis, :cool:

PS if yer dunking, then, like only brown sauce on fish and chips...it can only be milk chocolate digestives....;)

PPS What's a Garibaldi? Is that a middle-class/ rich man's biscuit ? Ah'm from Lochee, we were poor, in fact, we were so poor that ah had no clothes 'til ah was 14, then ma mum bought me a hat so ah could look out the window...:eek:

ah, I have to disagree there - it has to be ginger nuts at the beach and rich tea fingers on the croquet lawn :D

I restarted my laptop and now i can see them all!!! but why only one moving in opposite direction?:(

Reminds me of a snipe hunt.
