Cliff Diving in Boston Harbor

The Red Bull cliff diving championship took place recently in Boston, outside the ICA.

The event drew huge crowds on a beautiful spring day. I got there a little early and set up under the board.

I brought the Leica SL3 and old faithful, the 24-90 ASPH. I set everything to manual, including focus, mostly so I didn’t have to deal with tracking and auto-adjustment issues in the moment.

The SL3 isn’t known as a great sports camera but 6 FPS worked well enough for this situation.

I saw one woman shooting nearby with an old Hasselblad with a film back and winder. Props to her! Hope she got something good.

This is my favorite shot from the day. More photos here. Some were flipped for a no gravity effect.
