Wickford Regatta: Alpha

I was recently invited to photograph the Wickford Regatta during two days in May, a one-design regatta hosted by Wickford Yacht Club out on Narragansett Bay.  Competitors were divided into two circles, Alpha and Bravo, and I spent most of my time on the first day with the Alpha boats.  These included Club 420s, International 420s, and the largest class, the Lasers!Wickford Regatta was first held...

A beautiful blue sky with clouds overhead that I could expect to be underlit as the sun sank. A clear horizon to allow light for the setting sun! Somewhat calm waters that wouldn't threaten my life, and wonderfully...
