ptnauticmodels.net is a portuguese site dedicated to model boats.
Last Saturday, my friend Paulo Simões - who owns that site - gathered some guys around an exposition of model boats and a competition.
Photographer - as ourselves - were also invited to make some shots.
I made some shots of the event which I live here for comments, IYP.

We had the company of Rui Leal from Lighting Modes

Looks like fun Antonio and you got some good captures. I really like 2, 3, & 6. #5 looks appealling but the object to the right draws attention away from the subject. #7 seems to have a slight slant to it. Nice sharpness all round.

Photo number 2 is a small pano with CS3, late in the day.:D
Photo number 3 was shot with Rui Leal's Canon 400 mm on my 20D.
I sincerely like this so shallow DoF.
Number 6 is just a boat floating... kind of common picture. Anyone can do this.
On shot number 5 the "distracting material" is the tower where some soldiers are. I did the shot with a 15mm at very close range.
Well, may be you are right when you say that shot number 7, the last one, is a bit slant...

I work now in Lightroom and I love it.
I am studying it reading a book and viewing the Luminous Landscape video, which is indeed very easy to listen as it is spoken by a Canadian and an American. For you it would sound pretty familiar, but for me the pronunciation is important...

I had a look at your blog - not at your photos, yet - and I am aware now, that I must go into the challenges ...

Thank you for commenting Travis. D

Love the depth of field. It would be perfect if the blade of grass wasn't in the right hand corner. and you should definitely be participating in the challenges!

I wonder if the photo info is not wrong...
I am in doubt...
I suppose I shot the picture - the last one - with a 15mm and the info stands for 38 mm
To be 38 mm it must have been with the 24-70. Not the 16-35, of course.
But in the previous shot - the first posted here on the same subject - the info says 24 mm.
So, back to the 16-35

Well, I can't remember any more the lens I was using.
But someone I know made a shot of me lying on the grass, where the lens is seen for sure.
I have to look at that picture to know the lens I was using, because the infos presented are ambiguous.:D

I can go and darken that grass... I'll do it.
Thank you. D

I really dig the fireboat in #4. It look svery similar to the one that Los Angeles City Fire Dept put into service a few years back.

I am not mad about model boats but I can try to know something about this model.
Maybe, it is the model of the one you mentioned...

Thank you for commenting thumb:D

I was shooting with the 24-70 on the 5D.
You can see the 20D with the 70-200 near by, on the grass, at our left.:D

So, one of the informations on the EXIF is wrong.:cry
