This last month of June I had an assignment by Alumarine (a French Shipyard located near Nantes) to shoot their latest launch, a workboat for the Pilote de la Seine in Le Havre.
These boats are made to give lifts back and forth to the authorized pilots to board the big ships that need to come into/out of harbors.
This so called "pilotine", 12 meters long, takes 5 pilots plus its own pilot.
It has to be strong, fast and very very easy to handle in almost any weather conditions. Its cruising speed is 30 knots/58 kph/48 Mph.
A beautiful occasion to give its first helicopter flight to the Pentax 645D and my lens line, including the 300mm!
Shot with a PENTAX 645 - D FA 645 55mm F2.8 AL [IF] SDM AW - f/10 - ISO 200 - 1/640 s
