Etap in the East

One of the great things about the working on the water is that the water is always changing colour. Sometimes it’s the light on the water, other times it’s the colour of the seabed. On the East Coast of the UK it’s distinctly brown, this is due to the sediment in the water. On a bright breezy day from Brightlingsea we tested the new Etap 28 in some pretty rough conditions.

As the shoot was finishing there was one last shot I wanted to capture. I could see the dark storm cloud approaching from the south, I got the Etap to sail into a small patch of light and was able to get a shot with just the boat in the light and the dark menacing clouds in the background. It’s not often the weather is on your side, and the sun comes out, but when it is, it works well.
