    Hi
     
     I had the chance to cover another White Water event last weekend. 
     
    This is my second year covering the Neilson River Race, one of the most bad-ass and intense annual kayak race in Quebec.
    It is a pure time trial with each team of two kayakers racing a 3km class IV+V section with 6 major rapids, each team has one lap to enter their fastest time.
    This river flow in a steep gorge and the only two land access are at the starting point, the Big Eyes Rapid, and at the ending rapid, the Double Drop (Class VI) which offer the best view on the action.
     
    All shots were taken from almost the exact same spot where I was able to follow the paddlers as they approach the top of the rapid all the way down to the bottom where most of them were underwater and had to do a eskimo roll to right them self back up.
    As the old saying goes: location, location, location....
     
    Keeping in mind that the air is filled with mist and water droplets and that every part of the boats and paddlers are covered with running water, I'm quite happy with the IQ and AF of my T2.
     
    Shot with a X-T2 + XF50-140mm + VB grip combo, on Boost, AFC with zone AF (3x3 grid), drive on CH (11 fps), AFC custom setting at 2 (follow), Raw.
    PP in LR 6.9 + Irident's X-Transformer + Nik's Suite.

    Haven't posted in a while. Tested Fujis 100-400 in a game of football between Estonia and Belgium. Stadium was quite badly lit, so at F5,6 had to push ISO to 8000. Shot in JPEG. The lens is superb, but for those badly lit situations I'd like to get longer fixed lens from Fuji!

    Hi!
     
    I finally got a XF100-400 to pair with my T2 a few weeks ago but did have a chance to try it out in a sport context until last weekend at the 16th edition of the annual "Vagues en Ville" Whitewater Festival here in Québec City. 
     
     It is a really nice 2 days event that marks the beginning of the season for the White Water community on a 4 km stretch of R3 rapids of the St-Charles River. 
     
    I have been shooting this event since 2013, first with a X-E1 paired to the XF60 or XF14mm (yep!) and now with a T2 and the XF100-400, nice evolution Fuji, keep it up !!!

    I went to my first rodeo and took along my XT-2 and a new (to me) Fuji 55-200mm lens. I have to admit that this lens is really great and focuses fast for the price. I was going to purchase the 50-140 2.8, but the price and the size pushed me to the 55-200. Here are some of my favorites.
    Enjoy

    Hi

    Here's one with a little more context...  
     
    ....it's from of Québec City's Winter Carnaval annual Ice Canoe Race.

    First of all the English translation of the french expression "canot à glace" might induces some confusion, rest assure, the canoes are solidly made of high-tech layout of fiber: kevlar, carbon, fiber-glass, not ice. 

    Ice Canoes were used to be a traditional way of travelling on the St-Lawrence River in winter has now evolved into an all out endurance and quite extreme sport with more than 40 teams and a circuit of ten races. Québec City's race is one of the oldest in existence dating back to 1894...

    It's only a 3 kilometers ride across the St-Lawrence River from Québec to Lévis on the South shore and back to the starting point. But then, there is the ice, and to make things worse there is also the current and the tide that can be quite strong too, it's not an easy ride. In the elite class, the man will do it 3 times for a total distance of 9 km, the women 2 times and the participation class only once. It's really an all out effort: the best time this year in the men's elite was 1:26:01 hours, with the second and third place finishing just a few seconds later in a epic duel.

    Shot with a X-T2 + XF50-140 with the 1.4TC and a X-T1 + XF16-55.
