Rowing & Regatta magazine

Issue 59, March 2012. Page 29

Wahaay! I just got my first picture in this month's Rowing & Regatta magazine, the official magazine of British Rowing - ABC circulation 24,000.

The photo was for a feature on the upcoming junior Tideway head on the Thames and features the 'unofficial' favourites, Shrewsbury School.

Straight eights*

At last, sunshine! Saturday was Reading University Boat Club's Head of the River Race - against the clock. All boats are eights, a format that's all wrong for full-crew photos, you can end up with a lot of background before cropping.

See photos of all crews.

*Not to be confused with Straight8 - the Super-8 film making project.

Mute swan

Cygnus olor

I had some time to kill between photographing races yesterday. Mute swans and greylag geese were hauled out on the pontoons - preening in the sunshine.
