Flipping Fun at the Beach

This photo taken last summer when the tide was in at the Murrays Bay wharf. The young folk, and not so young, love to jump, dive, twist, flip, off the wharf into the water.

Come summertime, it is a very popular place to congregate.

50 years ago my husband remembers doing exactly the same thing.

Hi Janice,
Good timing! Great action shart. Except from his feet a perfect sharp image! Great posting Janice. I'm afraid I can't show you doing this when I'm going for a swim at New Zealand :-)
Hans

Awesome capture Janice.
Exact timing, clear and sharp. Very good compo.

Hello Janice.
100 years ago, I was as brave as him, haha
Time goes too fast, right, 'Dave' ?
Good times never comes back, we have to share those moments now only by watching it and releasing the shutter on the right moment.
Have a lovely evening you both, Janice and Dave.

Ha! Perfect timing and great sharpness on the diver. Just possibly I'd like to have seen more of the surrounds, just to get more of the context, but I really don't want to take anything away from the fun of this shot - it's a 'smile-raiser', that's for sure! Nice post.

haha! Beautifully caught. Perfect timing here Janice, I'm really glad this wasn't taken today, he would be one insane man - it's freezing!!

If I read it right, it says "Vol" on his shorts... which is French for "flight"... which is what he seems to be attempting ☺.
Excellent action shot, Janice... you sure froze him in mid-air.
Maybe a wider crop would make the scene more "open", though.

Hi Janice
At any rate,
a well-composed and pleasing 'ACTION' shot!

Well timed Janice and good colour and light. I can remember jumping form some places and when I think about it now, wonder how I survived. TFS,
David

FANTASTIC action shot!!! Beautiful color and sharpness!! TFS and have a great Sunday!

Timing in photography is everything, Well done.

Hi Janice,
This should do well on Wednesday night, you managed perfect focus.
The detail should be stunning on a bigger image, print or projector?
Good luck with both your entries,
Pete.

Hi Janice, This will be an honours for sure! Very sharp and perfect timing too. I have two for Wednesday - the Repetition in the City from Helen's theme and the Silver-eye.
Cheers, Pat.

Hi Janice well timed, it is surprisingly sharp for such a fast action photo. I just noted 1,000th of a second! Good level horizon and fine result. TFS. Murray.

Olá Janice!
Wonderful photo, perfect time and great composition!
Well Done!
