Austin Dragon Boat Festival - Saturday April 29th 10:00-3:00 - 04-28-2006, 09:34 PM


I'm going to see if I can catch a downtown sunrise (if the clouds play nice, weather says they should be breaking up around 6AM) and then grabbing a bite downtown and head to the Austin Dragon Boat Festival on Town Lake (Free Admission). I am meeting one TPF'er at the festival so far.

Anyone else interested?

If you decide to join at the last minute, feel free to give me a call! 512-627-8649. Or if you see me out there, i'll probably be wearing a TPF shirt. Come say hi!

Well, it's thunder/lightning/rain here now, so sunrise is out...let's hope it clears for the festival like they are predicting!

I enjoyed the Dragon Boat Festival thing, when I shot it last year in Houston. Watching the teams warm up and try to do that last minute choreography on "how to row as a group" is almost as fun to watch as the actual races.
I'm sure the Austin races are even better to shoot if for no other reason than the scenery.. they held one of the races here at Allens Landing on the Buffalo Bayou.. There are no filters good enough in the world to turn that water blue... Buffalo Bayou is not a pretty thing.
have fun

I ran past this this morning, looked like it could be fun to shoot -lots of people in the boats. There was a rowing regatta on at the same time further upstream too
