[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Wonder what these photographers found interesting in taking pictures of girls in bikinis jumping up and down.

Guess I'm getting old ;-).

Every day, there where these water aerobics on the beach in front of our hotel.
Attracted a lots and lots of people :-).

PP: Combined all photos in one.
On the main photo, blurred a frame around it.
With PSP X2, selected the inside of the image, inverted the selection and changed the feather then applied gaussian blur.

Water aerobics
Water aerobics is the performance of aerobic exercise in shallow water such as a swimming pool. In some areas it is known as AquaFit or "aqua aerobics", and is a type of resistance training.
In addition to the standard benefits of any exercise, the use of water in water aerobics supports the body and reduces the risk of muscle or joint injury. The mitigation of gravity by flotation places less stress on the joints when stretching, and can allow a greater range of motion. The mitigation of gravity makes water aerobics safe for any individual able to keep their head out of water, including the elderly. Exercise in water can also prevent overheating through continuous cooling of the body. Most classes last for 45-55 minutes.

Hello to those of you that are just looking.
And HELLO and THANK YOU VERY MUCH to those of you that take the time to leave critiques/comments/workshops :-).
--------------------------------------------
The word aerobics comes from two Greek words: aero, meaning "ability to," and bics, meaning "withstand tremendous boredom.
- Dave Barry

The word 'aerobics' came about when the gym instructors got together and said: If we're going to charge $10 an hour, we can't call it Jumping up and down.

They must have been trying to capture the lovley colours of the boat, Pierre :P. I really like how you have added the inserts and the nice clarity and colour throughout the image. The water trail behind the young man is perfectly timed. A nice warming presentation. Bravo

Did you hit Mexico during Spring Break!!?!!

I find it funny more men are taking photos then exercising.. I can count just about 3 taking part and the new comer in his blue and white trunks! lol

Funny post... but very warming in this beach photo...

Tricia


PS I always read water aerobics only works if your body is actually under the water? hmmmmm interesting... this group is going to have really well defined ankles!

Oh Pierre, they were interested in the bathing suits, that's all....They are fashion photographers, can't you tell? Actually the one dude running is hoping to help one change out of her suit! Diversity!!
HAHAHA! Wish'n I was there!
B-)
Linda

Hoi Piet,
I'm glad I wasn't on that beach while you were intruding this peaceful place:-) Funny compilation my friend, very funny :-)
Hans

Hi Pierre,

This is a great shot! I guess "boys will be boys". If it had been a group of men exercising, I'm sure my camera would have been at the ready too!

Now about the technical aspects of the photo.... who cares! LOL :) It's a great photo that brought a smile to my face. It would make a perfect post card!

Eh bien eh bien pas très intéressés les garçons à l'aérobie eux-mêmes mais voir les belles s'amuser dans l'eau ça c'est bien ,une petite photo avec ça. Le petit côté voyeur de l'homme n'est ce pas Pierre...lol.
La mer est belle, agréable sujet ,un beau petit montage bien présenté et de façon originale,du bon travail,
Carol

Hi Pierre,
Now I envy you!
We do have beaches around here but I hardly ever go in the water because, even in the summer, the water is very cold.

Your message came through, alright...hmm... :)
Very nice colors and presentation.
