Another one of the things I did over the summer, Dragonboating. I photographed the race this year instead of paddling because of a medical condition. For those who don't know, Dragonboating is like cannoning/crew with 20 other people in the boat + the steerer and the drummer.
Post Processing:
Noise Ninja: This is a massive crop compared to the original size photo
Noise and photo quality was a big issue
Photoshop: I did my normal workflow, levels, rotate, crop, Warming 81 filter, smart sharpening
