Me shooting the outrigger canoe races

I didn't realize it at the time, but my wife on the beach took a few photos of me while I was shooting the outrigger canoe races on July 4th.

Waikiki Independence Day Outrigger Canoe Races

Yesterday for the 4th year in a row (somehow I missed seeing it in 2007) I was down at the beach for the annual Independence Day Outrigger Canoe Races in Waikiki, Hawaii. I have added some new photos to my website so please take a look! The 2011 photos are at the end of this gallery and they have the 2011 label on them. It was a fun day! I was wading out in the water, sometimes up to my chest, and getting close for most of the shots. Of course, I was careful and the camera remained dry, but it meant raising it above my head sometimes. I was using my Canon 60D + Sigma 10-20mm and all these 2011 photos were taken at 10mm.
