2018 River Ranch Photo Shoot!
As many of you know, every year I arrange a photo shoot for anybody attending that would like photos of their boat, both posted here and in print. This year's photo shoot will take place on Friday and Saturday morning, in the same location as always, which is the river outside the launch ramp.
Jeff from Freeze Frame Video will have his 21 Superboat docked behind the restaurant/launch ramp all weekend, and that is the boat we will use. He will be offering prints right on-site for anybody that wants them, and the images will also be posted here on Scream And Fly as usual.
Photo Shoot Schedule:
Friday: 10:00 AM, the photo boat will be located to the right of the river entrance outside the launch ramp canal.
Saturday: 9:00AM, the photo boat will be located to the left of the river entrance outside the launch ramp canal.
For safety and organization, please observe the following guidelines:
- All boats should start at one side, and make a pass, then wait at the other end for everybody to finish their passes. Once everybody is finished, the entire group will return together at the start, if anybody would like another pass.This avoids boats going back and forth in the narrow river. Also, this is important: You do not need to go full throttle when making a pass for a photo . In a photo, most of the time you cannot tell the difference between 80 mph and 120 mph. It looks the exactly same, so please be safe. It's not a contest
- If anybody is operating their boat in an unsafe manner, no photo is taken. Please do not over-trim your boat or do anything that is considered unsafe. You all know that all of your boats look amazing without having to add any risky shenanigans . I absolutely cannot endorse that kind of driving. It only increases the potential for accidents, and we've all seen the unfortunate results of that. Please be safe.
- I would ask that all participants wear at least a vest for safety. If you're in a very fast boat such an an Allison, STV, etc., a helmet and Lifeline vest would really be suggested. And, it looks cool in a photo too.

A few points to remember . DO NOT fly by past the entrance canal to RIVER RANCH under any circumstances . There will be boats coming in and out all day and this presents a major safety issue . Greg , please make note of this and alter your plan please ! There is little to no traffic South or to the right going out of River Ranch . The area marked off in this thread was the site of a fatality last year . This is not a race and this is not a shoot to see how fast you think you are . There have been enough problems with safety in the past here due to reckless operation and this is a teaser for that . Please be careful .

Thanks Tom, I actually try to arrange it so that does not happen, but I will definitely make extra sure that is avoided. I added that to the diagram. I’ll also space the locations apart more and make sure everybody is aware of that. I always make very clear that I won't shoot photos of anybody operating in an unsafe manner, as well as any top-speed contests.
Not sure I agree that a photo shoot is anymore of a 'teaser' for accidents (no accidents or any incidents had ever occurred during any photo shoots I've done in the last 10 years) than any other activity there but I respect that view and will do all I can to keep it safe. People are almost always very safe there, especially since I ask that they run one at a time, which by default, would eliminate any option for racing or speed contests.

See you tomorrow morning. Anybody that wants to be part of the shoot, please try to gather at the ramp by no later than 9:00AM. It would be best, if possible, to have a small, quick meeting at the restaurant there before we head out. Anybody that comes out and makes a pass gets a photo taken. But please be safe, and don't do anything reckless.

Thanks again to @Freeze Frame Video Jeff for using his Superboat for a photo boat. I also want to thank everybody for their support and once again making the photo shoot a really fun and safe event. I'll be home later on to begin adding photos.
