Whitianga Festival of Speed
April 4th 2009
Hello Powerboat people! Let me introduce myself, my name is Dan. I've had a bit to do with the Offshore series over the last couple of years...usually I'm in the Helicam R44 operating the gyro TV camera. Unfortunately we haven't been filming the races this year due to budget cutbacks, so it was nice to get in the air at Whitianga for 20mins and fire off a few stills. Had a great time, I'd certainly be interested in doing it again.
If your boat isn't one of those I caught on the day, my apologies...we were only in the air very briefly. If you would like some shots or video taken of your boat give me a yell and we can put a quote together. You may have seen the Doosan shots on this site, or on the Whitianga FOS brochure. That was a basic shoot on Auckland Harbour...it's really just a matter of timing the weather and we can get you some great shots at a reasonable cost. Get your sponsors onboard!
The shots in this gallery are for sale, in a number of formats. Most of the time people go for a big aluminium backed print. They look fantastic, they are ready to hang on your wall or office and show off to your mates! Actually, Doosan have a nice aluminium print...I'll ask them to send me a photo of it on their wall so that you can see what I'm talking about. Please contact me for costs. Do not try to pull the shots off this site, or I'll throw my lunch at your boat next time we are buzzing past!
Oh yeah, go to the gyro stabilised filming page and check the video. Some of you guys are on that clip at the start.
