TomSkippy Posted May 7, 2019 "What a great day for sailing," thought Johnny as he looked toward the Prio Harbor BOOM!!! "The next shot won't miss! Prepare to surrender your contraband to the Port Authorities!" Johnny didn't know about contraband, but he did know when it was time to abandon ship. Unfortunately, so did his crew... The second shot didn't miss. A sense of weightlessness, a splash, and an altogether different roar... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ross Fisher Posted May 7, 2019 It would be just like Oilskin Johnny to win the race by accident. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Professor Thaum Posted May 7, 2019 The story is excellent... so are the "on the move" pictures, and the victory with a class 0 ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt Wolf Posted May 7, 2019 Great story. I love the photography on the pic when he's flying through the air -- in fact, good use of controlled focal depth in many of the shots! And the bald hairpiece in the second shot after he loses his hat made me laugh! 12 hours ago, Ross Fisher said: It would be just like Oilskin Johnny to win the race by accident. My thought exactly!

TomSkippy Posted May 8, 2019 Thanks everyone! As soon as I saw the challenge, I envisioned Johnny accidentally winning. Great chance to add to his story. I had tons of fun building this. @Capt Wolf I wish it was controlled focal depth, I use my phone... I added a zoom blur on the images ! Have to say making the explosion was maddening! It kept coming apart when I was trying to move/photo it. Side note: I’ll probably license the grandstand as a cultural for Arlinsport. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blackdeathgr Posted May 8, 2019 Nice and funny story! As far as winning is concerned, it reminds me of "wacky races" cartoon where one could win by "any means necessary"! 44 minutes ago, TomSkippy said: Side note: I’ll probably license the grandstand as a cultural for Arlinsport Nice idea!
