RNLI

[14-7]

Desipte being on a lifeboat crew for over 14 years now I've only just started photographing it as I have always been part of 'it' therefore it's hard to photograpd whilst being hands on.

Two from tonight that I think are quite nice.

The dedication these guys show is truly inspirational.

Turning out at all hours, giving up time to raise money to keep them afloat, attending presentations across the country at their own expense. One of the true charities in the country that is worth putting money to (although my views could be biased of course ).

Great pics, and as you say, a great organisation. Thank you!

Awesome pictures there.
I always make a point of dropping as much cash as I have in their bucket each time I see them.
It would be surprising how few people realise that this is all voluntary and funded by donations.

Top one is gorgeous.

And having been on the receiving end of their assistance, and knowing some of our local lifeboat crew, I can vouch for their dedication and professionalism.

This is a gorgeous image, one that you dont see very often. Would you be willing to sell me a print of this?

We see some very competent photographs on this forum on a regular basis - this is one of the best.
