I have to agree....wonder about a GET DPI workshop in Hong Kong...I have always thought that the best way to get great captures is to be in a great place.Great shots Jorgen - as usual. How about publishing some of your screw-ups to make the rest of us feel a bit better ;>
OT, but look at the diameter and heft of those (dual?) wheels/tillers - meant for the application of some serious torque.

Many hours on public transport to see something not so public, but well worth it. Unfortunately, real action shots are only possible being on-board or from a helicopter. Alas, I had access to neitherThere are dual wheels so the helmsman's weight and/or view can be on the right side according to tack and conditions, but they are also linked so they can both be manned when extra strength is needed in brutal conditions.
As much as I admire the skill and courage of round the world racers, I think they are truly nuts, a form of self torture, cold, wet, sleep deprived, for weeks at a time.

Good point. Sharpening is something I've yet to study. I've seen detailed tutorials and such mentioned sharpening certain color channels and such, so it looks like fertile ground.
