Let me to introduce Cathryn Humphrey, a champion women's slalom waterskier, here displaying her true grit.

Canon EOS 40D & Canon USM 100-300mm Lens: RAW, Manual settings of f/6.3 @ 1/1000sec, 200mm, ISO 100, Hand held.
Lightroom 2.2 & Photoshop CS3.

Enjoy!

THE MAKING OF 'Cathryn Humphrey - Feeling the Pull':

My Port Macquarie Panthers Camera Club mate Peter and I set out north of our home town of Port Macquarie, NSW, Australia on this hot summer day to bag some of the action at this national event.
We had only made a few shots when we were approached by the park's Publicity Officer and asked if we would make a series of action and promotional shots to help publicise the event, the park and the sponsors, for which we would receive all the proper accreditation for the use of our images as well as VIP status at the event.
We agreed immediately and set about our task in earnest, bagging some great keepers for ourselves along the way.
Cathryn did a great job this day and with this form made it into the finals to be held the next day.

Enjoy!
