Hot shots on the Bay

Yesterday was perfect for our photography crew.
After the carnage of the previous day, the Olympians were back in action, ready and waiting for the official racing to start.
You could feel the atmosphere out on Sydney Harbour, sense the passion, and see their determination.
Our aim was to capture it...so here are some of our hot shots.
Thanks to the Australian Tornado guys, for the ride back to the beach!
