Severn Bore 3* Nov 2012

Severn Bore November 2012 tides. A 3* 9.7m bore and conditions were cloudy, mild (7C) and very calm. A great boat shoot for reflections although ambient light (sun) would have made it perfect. Once again I shadowed the master of the Severn Bore and world record holder Steve King. A big thanks to Steve for the ride and Duncan for usual exemplary boat handling (nobody knows the river like him). Not a massive bore overall but some good wave action along the 10 mile journey. Photos captured with a combination of the Olympus E5 + 50-200mm & E3 + 12-60mm. A challenging shoot when both camera systems are hung around your neck and the boat tosses you around like washing in a machine. Camera and owner got drenched and my lenses now have a few more dents & scratches.

    Gulls fill the river Severn and take to the skies as the bore runs through. An amazing sight and another piece of this river ecosystem jigsaw.
    Great shot this as Steve keeps a close eye on the distant tree as he rides the bore wave. Captured from behind as the boat rocked and rolled over and through the gravity waves.
    Birds and trees are a common sight, even IN the river!
