This helicopter and light airplane were covering the event from the air. I was lucky to capture the light airplane while focusing on the helicopter in the bottom left shot. Rubber dinghies were following the event from the sea. I enjoyed taking shots of them during the quiet periods between the ‘off’ of one group and that of the next one.
This collage ends my series of shots on the Malta Middle Sea Race.
Tomorrow it’s Jeff and Nick again: Look out for Riccardo the town mayor of Riomaggiore (Cinque Terre).
Interesting to be following this event through your images. We saw similar helicopters over the America's Cup in San Francisco. You are so close to the action with these images -- very cool to see.
