Somebody took some time to put this video together, which takes a lot of time. I have admitted that I am a still image photographer first, so I really appreciate when somebody puts a full video together.

It looks like a great weekend. Put me on the list of people who should have been there.

Hidden Pass Junior Development Clinic

I stopped down to the clinic at Hidden Pass on Wednesday morning, which was the first morning of instruction.  While I had hoped to return and spend quite a few days down there, I found the work around the house wasn’t going away and other obligations drew me back to the house.

I was actually hoping to talk with Todd, off the water, but his time was focused in the boat for a couple days.  He did bring a new technique to coaching that I connected with rather immediately. After the first pass down the pond, Todd could be seen snapping a continuous stream of photos of the competitors to help visualize their positions to them.  Todd also brought a bigger camera than me.  (there is always a bigger camera)

Todd was wielding the Nikon D300 with a healthy lens I did not get the specs on.  While holding par in quality to the D200 I was carrying, the D300 improves the number of focal areas, enables some ISO manipulation, and has a huge screen on the back to show off the pictures.  It was a little easier to hear that he got the D200 he used to carry wet.

Todd is the editor for WaterSki Magazine, and his name can be seen next to a majority of the photos in the publication. Perhaps we will see some of our local skiers show up in an upcoming edition.
