Powerboat World Championship
They call it the Grand Prix of the Sea. Malta sees these powerboats once a year for 3 days of  intense. One thing’s for sure, there’s nothing like that much engine power pushing you forward through the waves. More info on the race can be found here.
All of these images were shot with the 70-200/2.8, at roughly f9-f11 to get as much depth of field as I could for the required shutter speed. ISO was set to 200. To get more awesome out of these images, I got as low as possible above the water on the cliff I shot them from. This is a much better angle to shoot from and it makes all the jumps just that  much higher.
