Splash!
I’m not really into sports photography but am always excited to try new subjects. These amateur swimmers were practising in a nearby pool the other day in preparation for a swimming competition. While I was interested in capturing the action as they swam, I also wanted to capture the water’s surface as it formed waves, ripples, splashes and droplets in response to the athletes’ movements. Here are three of my favorite shots. Happy weekend everyone.
The drag of endless mental work in a strange land takes its toll. Fatigue can kill so petty escapades provide hopeful deviations from the brewing madness. An aging DSLR keeps good company to a walk around the neighbourhood, a short drive to a scenic place, or a silent recollection in a quiet nook granting that the host community and the elements of nature would allow one a safe passage to solitude and contemplation. Loneliness quickly turns to joy when something exciting gets captured by the cam’s shutter then set free into the laptop’s screen followed by electric words that rush from the fingers to the keyboard in an effort to describe the moment. Alas, the brain is alive once again!
Always nice to do something different for a change.

Very cool! I like how, in the first one, the athletes are moving faster than some of the water droplets.
