What an excellent plague and theme idea too. Well done Carin.

Great idea!  I'll start thinking about things in motion.  :)

Excellent challenge!  Though our highs have been reaching for 100F (38C).  Nobody is moving very much. lol.  Wonderful examples!

Lucinda.............sorry it is so hot there.

Me too!  But it's typical for us in August.... And September.   We'll start to cool down in October.   

LOL @ Lucinda... Nobody is moving much because of the heat!!! It just sounds so funny!!!
Good luck there!

Wonderful, Helle!  It brought a smile to my face. I love their expressions!

Oh, this is a very nice start, Helle.
I also love to see,
that there is much joy in your family <3

Thank you Licinda and Mies

I hope that you guys will forgive me for posting an image from this past summer! I am basically in isolation with this darn flu and would love to post just one!!! This is my eldest son being silly and jumping in the pool!!! I love how the splash came out!

Wonderful splash!  I hope you feel better soon.

What a splended shot, Carin.
When Lucinda was talking about the heat, I thought go to a pool and take action picture's from into the water. And you did it.  GREAT!
Oh, I hope your flu will flew away, very soon,  it's no fun, huh?

Now we are looking forward for "Action Kopenhagen".  I'm curious, Helle!

LOL ! Well it depends on the rules here.
As said, I  took alot of motion shots, but that was from the car, so actually it is from the opposite POV, so I dont know. It seems not quite as exiting, as the other way around   
I can not afford to waste one of my three attempts. ...................................

We will have patience with you, Helle  :thumbupboth:

Jololeiiidyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!

Sorry, Mies.

I couldnt find a good motionshot between the shots of yesterday. Atleast not with trails. Yet i got some fun and interesting shots taken from the rolling car, but just  for the fun I will show you a movie lol and if Carin wants to remove it, it is ok, because i am not sure this goes with this challenge
 

Wow Helle,
this is a great action-show.
Great fun. :lol:
When Carin see this, she for sure become right better from flu.
I can't stop looking  at it, GREAT!

Big smile,
Mies.
p.s. Thank you :D

HAHAHA That would be really wonderful if that could happen LOL !  It is just for the fun :-)
I have made severel of these LOL !

 Wonderful Helle!  I remember this guy from your gallery.  It's great to see him again and moving! 

HAHAHA Thanks Lucinda.  Now ill go to sleep.  Good night friends zzzzzzzzzzzzzz  !

Helle - What fun! I am not going to remove it. It is so cleverly done! He sure is a cute fellow but looks so mean in motion!!! Hehehe...
Great one my friend!!!

Thanks Carin, I know it could have been done better, but it was without tripod and done by chance to get at least one decent shot and if you had seen HOW i took the shots, you would agree that it couldnt have been done much better. On my hurting knees and my elbows and my hubby standing behind me laughing. I am a "big " Lady, so it must have been a priceless sight.

Ok if yyou cant imagine.-... ..... You can delete this later lol.

LOL Helle!  Hilarious drawing!  Your shot was so good, maybe I should risk my knees and elbows.   The laughing husband I have on hand. 

Helle, that is hilarious!

At Meisiekind's suggestion I'm entering this.  I've never entered a photography challenge before; you folks are just too good and out of my league.  I usually do some Bryce challenges but this is a first here.

Body boarder at Myrtle Beach, SC. 

Attached Link: Moorhen on the run

Hi everyone, This is my first entry to a photo challenge. Hope you like it. I hope I did it right.

Awesome shots both from Willie and Dave. Let the fun begin :-)

Excellent shots, everybody! 

And for you who are new to this ... don't worry about the "challenge" part of it.  We're just challenging ourselves to become better photographers.  There's nothing at stake here ... nothing on the line ... just lots of laughs and a really good time! 

"If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough."  ...  Robert Capa

Not the newest shot, but it was taken about 2 months ago.  Thunder is the most lively thing and I have been practicing action shots on her.  This was my first action shot that came out decent. But more practice was in order!  Fortunately, she never stops moving and I've had plenty of practice since!

And Thunder looks so happy and lively indeed.
A clever photographer, and a clever dog.!
Bravo, Mies.

LOL That is so delightful PJ.  She looks so happy :)

Thunder looks very happy. Wonderful capture. :)

This was a more recent one and although she twisted away from me at the last minute, you have no idea how fast she was moving. :-)  I was lucky to get this! She is so very fast and was running for me but looped away just as I took my shot.

No wonder she is called thunder :-D  Wonderful shot :)

Here's my first one. With my grandson visiting, I knew I would catch some action when I took him up to see Abraham Lake, and that's my backup camera he's running with. I have no worries, however, as I believe he's more sure-footed running than I am walking. Of course he's hamming it up in this shot. BTW, he took more photos than I did on this trip, so perhaps it runs in the family.

Wayne

In this one he's not aware that I'm taking photos, he's just running across the rocks. These two sequential shots were as fast as my D300 could take them. It's amazing how quickly the brain plans the next step along with the decisions about where to land next.

Wayne

My word ... he must be part mountain goat!  What great shots!

"If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough."  ...  Robert Capa

Yeah Is something in what Tara wrote LOL !   Excellent shots all three.

Om my gosh - what wonderful images since I last popped around!

@skiwillgee - welcome to the challenge! I am so thrilled tou posted that image in the Forum! This is just a fun forum and we learn so much from each other! It is really well captured!!! Well done and I hope you take up the challenge and post some more action shots!!!

@Dave - That moorhen image is superb! Excellent timing to get the splash of take-off! Well done Dave!

@ PJ - I had such a great giggle when looking at your marvelous shots of Thunder! Gosh, he seems to be more than a hand full! You did very well catching this lightning fast thunder PJ!!! The bottom pic almost looks like he stopped momentarily to scratch!!!

@ Whaleman - I freak out when looking at those antics! What wonderful images of this sure footed and handsome young grandson of yours! Wonderful action shots!

Very well done ALL!

One last action shot because I just don't see much action from my back yard, but I've had so much fun chasing her around the yard this weekend that I think I'm too tired to get out for awhile and find another subject. Miss Thunder is all the action I can take. :-)

Hi, I've missed some shots here, I see; and what for SHOTS!!!!
Amazing to see your face in splash,  skiwillgee! Great action.

Oh, and that funny Moorhen on the run, exiting entry, Dave.

P.J., Thunder seems to want to attack, it looks as.

Whaleman, Your grandson looks like a stuntman. WOW!

Till next time, and hopefully you're feeling a bit better, Carin (?)

Many greetings,
Mies.

Wait for me, wait for me, calling the goats, here we come!

This was Friday on the heath.
(my first one)

Oh, and P.J., your Thunder, has he tap dancing as a hobby?

Bye all!

Wow! What a great collection of shots. Tara made me laugh "Mountain Goat" Lol!! He's far braver than I am, and The shots of Thunder are priceless. I can just see him going crazy runing around and having fun. Love the shot of the goats, that's something I don't get to see around much.

Oh dear, Helle!
I also have missed your hilarious drawing!
Wow, an amazing comedy-look!!!!
You should do something about it, huh? to shoot a good picture.

Karel has ever taken a picture of me, how I was "standing" making a picture : In all sorts of curves!
LOL about your perfect drawing

PJ - Love the last shot of Miss Thunder! Sorry - I called her a him in my first comment. I can see the craziness in this canine! She is a hand full of energy!

Mies - Are those goats running towards the sheep? How hilarious! Very well caught indeed!

Carin yes, she belonged to the herd but had strayed, and came with a high speed down the mountain. She almost flew through the corner, in their hurry. (LOL)
Bye, bye!

Helle, I love that sketch! That is priceless and reminds me a great deal of the style of James Thurber. Amazing. 

Mies, those are really great herding goats. LOL  Nice shot!

Wayne, I remember a time when I could do that and not worry about breaking my neck. I love the exuberance in your son! 

Dave, that's what I call poetry in motion! I love watching the moorehens at the park.

I'm coming in late on a lot of great shots!

Skiwillgee, Wonderful capture of a person right smack dab in the middle of a wave.  I love the way the water shows in a clear layer over his head! 

Daver, Terrific capture of the moorhen.  Great motion in the wing and super reflections!

PJ, I love all your pictures of Thunder!  She looks so happy in the first one and she moving up a storm in them all.  She's very Twisty, isn't she!

Whaleman, Your pictures of your grandson are a joy to see. 
That kind of motion I now enjoy vicariously.  Great captures of his nimbleness.

Mies, Wonderful scene!  The dog looks like he's thinking, "Where you been? Get over here!!"  I love the motion in her coat!

I'll try to brave the heat sometime before August is over, but meanwhile, here is a shot I took in New York in May. 

That's a stoke of luck and a bucket full of skill! Getting that gull with the water flying as well as it! Wow. And great stopped action.

Great stuff in here :) I stalked some kind of bee today trying to get an action shot.   So here is entry #1 from me :)

Thanks PJ!  I stood waiting on a bouncing boat saying, "Come on bird, MOVE!" and he did.

Terrific capture of the bee!  Love those buzzing wings!

Bees are incredibly hard to get. They are all over the place and I can't be still around them.  Fabulous motion in the wings.

LOL To see thunder i just a joy and i understand why she closes her eyes LOL !

And there we got the goats for real, Mies ...HAHA! Excellent.

ANd the fishing gull is just awesome, Lucinda.

ANd i so love the bee shot. I cant do that myself. I mean not fly, but take shots of a bee flying LOL !

A great action shot Lucinda!
So beautiful how the seagull traces are in the water, and go full steam ahead, with the wind.
Success with the heath, and greetings from Mies.

Wonderful action Lucinda & Melinda.... taking off and coming in for landing!!!

Yes  a wonderful catching of  Melinda, stunning, what a good action shot.

Too bad I do not get all messages sent from here.
Sorry for my late reactions, but this is the reason.
Bye, have a nice day further.

Wow, I've been missing all the "action" shots!

Better get my rear in gear and get out to take a few, although with the heat & humidity lately I'm not sure anything around here is moving fast...

I will sneak in an old shot (well, not too old, taken last month at the renaissance faire) of this awesome falcon and his trainer.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words...

So where do they go when a photograph leaves you speechless? 

I love falcons! Beautiful action shot.  Wonderful capture of the interaction between trainer and falcon.

That's awesome. The action is wonderful...full of motion and expression. Very lively and grabs my attention!

AAWW, Yvonne that is really a cool shot. Full of motion. :-)

WOW, Yvonne, what a concentration and action is speaking out of your fabulous shot!
Great to see this!!!!

I have really enjoyed looking at all the entries and they are all very interesting too! I believe my fav so far is skiwillgee's water cap, such a great capture!

Here's my third and last entry, the very top of Crescent Falls, with a little extended shutter time to capture the action effect.

Wayne, that is awesome and so refreshing. A really great shot.

Yes Wayne, a perfect action-shot. And also very beautiful to see.

I still have yet to master halting water movement. This has a lot of shine to it that helps show the flow but leaves good texture.

Beautiful finale, Wayne! I can hear the rushing sound.

Superb capture of the plane, caught at just the right moment.  I've never seen one pop a flair.  Love the smoke trails too!

WOW - I have been MIA this week! What wonderful entries all! That plane is really cool, the waterfall perfectly caught and the falcon trainer WOW!!!!
Great work everyone!
Hopefully I will have more time to check in from now on!

Ohhhhh, that water looks so tempting to put a toe into, great shot Wayne.

So where do they go when a photograph leaves you speechless? 

From a medieval festival this weekend. No jousting or sword fights, but a ton of other entertainment - including this lady who danced on broken glass. Quite a show.

Bob
 

Full weight on the glass.

As if standing on the glass wasn't surprising enough, she started dancing on it too. Just one of the amazing performances taking place all throughout the fest.

Really a painful action
She dares!!!
Beautiful photo's Bob.

Amazing action shot and amazing subject!

Welcome Mario!  Lovely to see you here!

Yes Mario, you can put up to 3 pictures that play into the monthly theme. Hope to see some of yours  now that you've found this area.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words...

So where do they go when a photograph leaves you speechless? 

Wow Bob, very interesting shots. She must have really hard callouses on her feet, or no nerve endings!

Lucinda Thanks for the welcome and thanks to PJ for full explanation. Before starting I would like to congratulate the photos I've seen various authors, all very nice and refreshing.
Mario

This creature in my garden made reconnaissance flights around this flower before diving.

Terrific capture of the little guy, Mario!  Wonderful action shot! I can hear the buzzing!

Thanks, Lucinda
I'm glad you liked it is a good start!
A hug
Mario

Hi Mario!
Great fun to meet you here!
A fantastic shot you've posting.
A honey bee in full action, plus a stunning goal which he flies.
A really good start, bravo!
Mies :)

Hi friends 

Here you see me in 'full action' (LOL)
The photo is taken by my husband.
We had to find our way through the mud.
Hope you like it?

Have a nice day further.
Mies.

Mario!  So glad to see you posted. These Challenges are so much fun!  I know how tough a bee in flight can be...so difficult that I've never gotten one that worked.  And the flower is also gorgeous.

Mies, did you get the action when you fell off the log into the mud too? LOL  That's great. Puts me on the edge of my seat waiting for what comes next. :-)

Hello, Mies
fantastic to see you in action! Beautiful pictures and very nice! Thank your husband for this shot! A wonderful evening
Mario

Thank you Mario.
@ PJ Then Karel ( my husband) would have had yesterday make pictures of me. I fell 2 times on my butt (in the mud, and very wet plants), when I wanted to take pictures of a spider.
Bye Mies.

Hi Mies,   That's quite a balancing act!  It looks like a fun (and messy) walk! Great picture, nice smile! :)

WOW! There happened alot, since I was in here last. 

3Dguy, that is a mighty beautiful shot of the plane. Must be reeealllly difficult to get.

Bob I am impressed by the shots of the dancer. They are really beautiful. Brave lady :)

Mario I like so much the flying bee. A really lovely capture and I find it very difficult to take such one myself.

Mies I really love the shot of you trying to keep the balance LOL ! That is really fun and awesome. :-)

I have had difficulties finding something exiting for my LAST shot so this will have to do. RAIN and RAIN and RAIN 

Wet action, nice, nice, nice . :rolleyes:
I'm missing you, Helle, singing in the rain (LOL)
Cool photo, Helle!!!

I'm certainly enjoying all the entries. Hope we see many more yet!

Wayne

 Beautiful capture of the falling drops!  That branch looks positively weighed down with the rain.  I wish you could send some of that rain this way. We are roasting. 

Helle, that IS exciting. I can feel the rain storm in this. Very descriptive!

Weeell I am  not singing in the rain anymore. We got  enough rain for the rest of the year. 
I wish I could send you a weeks rain.    And thanks Mies for your kind words  .

Oh yes, Lucinda. You bet it got heavy. Everything did actually. We even have storm right now.

OH, Thank you PJ   Yeah and you bet it is storming in this moment. TSK TSK ! 
But honestly I like this better than being roasted of to hot weather.

Dear Helle, these days the only action in the water, full days. Very nice image!
I also photographed it rained
Mario

Quote - Wow Bob, very interesting shots. She must have really hard callouses on her feet, or no nerve endings! 

She put on a really entertaining show. Very dramatic expressions, and with some humor thrown in. Like dancing "over" the glass to start by dancing on one side then jumping over the pile with a big flourish and an ear-to-ear smile. (I got those shots too, but with a three shot limit I had to pick the uploads carefully.)

Instead of hard calluses or dead nerve endings how about running the glass pieces through a tumbler with polishing grit until all the sharp edges are smoothed off? You could still get poked a little, like walking on gravel, but at least there wouldn't be any bloody footprints in the grass.

Bob

Might think that we have with him. Photo taken on foso Bozzano to a few hundred meters from home.

Mario you are right, but this morning we are having a bit sun and it feels so lovely. :)  You took a very great shot of the pigeons and thinking about the distance, you really did beautifully.

A fantastic shot, Mario.
Great action between the birds.
Great composition too, Bravo!

Outstanding capture! The blur on the wings, outstretched flight feathers...all so wonderful!

Beautiful shot, Mario!  Wonderful blurred wings! I like the attitude of the white pigeon.  He looks like he is saying, "This is my perch! Find your own!"

Mario, Helle & Mies - wonderful shots! I love your creativeness with the "action" theme!

Thanks, Helle, Mies, PJ and Lucinda,
Good afternoon. Today was sunny and I tried out for photos, but a mail carrier I came upon him with considerable damage to my car. I passed the desire and went home. We try again tomorrow. (I did not hurt)
A big hug
mario

Hello, Carin
thanks, very glad your back diel
Good afternoon
a big hug
Mario

Hello Mario,

I'm glad you're not hurt.
And hope the mail carrier is also o.k.
You'll be shocked, I guess.
Take care, Mario!
Friend greetings,
Mies.

Mario, Maybe try to stop the car before you take pictures? .... Sorry only joking
I am glad nothing happened to you ... or the mail carrier.

 Yikes, Mario! I'm glad you're okay.  That could definitely take the edge off of the desire to do much of anything.  Take care of yourself. Hugs :) Lucinda

Unfortunately, the mail carrier had the wrong address and watching sena has backtracked and, with the narrow road, I could not help it, I have the whole right side of the car damaged, but no damage to the person. Thanks, I'm going to bed for me and 'very late.

Mario I am sorry your car was damaged so much. It gives alot of troubles afterwards. I hope it can be fixed.

It is not nice that your car is damaged, Mario.
But you can take a picture of the damage, and upload it here as your own action shot.
Oh me, what an action :woot: !
I hope that your car can be made quickly. Lots of strength with it.
from Mies.

Yeah and I made a beautiful action shot for Mario, because I was so bad yesterday... I wonder if I may post it in here?????

Helle

Dear Helle , if you depend of me , not doubt .

Dear Mies , maybe not like me to see my car battered

Grazie 1000 !!!!!

 Came by the forum and thought I would upload this shot! taken a couple of days ago without being fogged in. they were celebrating the sun.

 In Xanadu did Kublai Khan a pleasuredome erect

:-)  Something to celebrate in The City. :-)  I had to look closely to see if that was my grandson...LOL  You really held that action, didn't you. Not a blur that I can see. Excellent.

A lively and cheerful to celebrate the sun! Beautiful action shot !

Thank you! This has been the foggiest and coolest summer in 4o years. So, we rejoice at seeing the big ball warmth. LOL

Hello, everyone I present my latest photo action. He buzzed menacingly to my ear. but then left to photograpy, you see her again . Mario

This is again very beautiful captured, Mario.
Very refined action shot!
Hoping you are doing well!

Happy weekend to all!
Mies.

Costa, celebrating the sun is a beautiful custom and it is very nice shot you have taken.

Mario, what a lovely shot and so beautiful colors too. Alså the bee is kind of celebrating the sun:)

I had to ask the coordiator or the moderator first,...seems they didnt see my question. LOL

I do not know if this picture qualify for this challenge.

Thought I better get a couple in before the month and challenge was over! Love everyone's shots! Some really great action going on.

My first one is a little hare I saw from my window, so the shot is not real clear because of the screen.

This one was actually taken in May, but it came out so unique that I wanted to post it.

This is my stepdaughter throwing her bouquet at the reception.

Here is #2 from me :) I was at the park last week and there was all kinds of action going on.  I just didn't do such a great job of capturing it all.  but, it was fun!

#3 A diving Cormorant.  I might add, this is the first time I have ever seen one of these birds.  I was so excited.  lol.  He/she was a great bird too.  He preened and posed and let me stand within a few feet and take a lot of photos.  Then he decided to cool off and dive into the water.  I almost missed him.  :)

There have been so many interesting entries so I have three more to add to the mix. This first one is a CN worker doing some grinding on a rail line just minutes after a train had passed.

My second one tonight is the action of the water in distorting the reed reflections.

My third one tonight shows some action by swallows picking their part of the wire. Thanks for looking!

Wow! I missed the ebot for all of these!  Wonderful action shots all! I love the variety of actions.  I've got my other two which I'll post once I'm back in San Antonio. One taken from an air conditioned car and the other in an air conditioned house. lol

Mario - wonderful image of the bee!

Christo - your image is perfect! Real life action! I really like it a lot!

Bentchick - Both the hare and the bride images are just awesome action shots! I really love the bride one!

Melinda - Both the butterfly and comorant are fantastic! I am always amazed by comorants staying under water for so long!

Whaleman - WOW - the guy welding on the tracks is amazing! Well done! The running water as well as the bird coming in for landing are great!

Thank you everyone for your wonderful participation! It is a load of fun looking at all the action images!

Here is my second image - also some form as splashing as the first one! These gulls were taking a bath in the pool at the Radisson Hotel in Cape Town when I went there in June! I love the look on the face of the one looking on!

All of a sudden it  seems that i cannot upload a 3d picture. Well then it is 2 pictures from me for this challenge. Congratulations to everyone for uploading some wonderful pictures for this challenge. Size seemed to be a problem for my 3 d  upload. There we go with my 3d for this challenge.

Beautiful B&W! Love the motion of the wings and the shape of the tree!
Wonderful lights and cat!  Judging from the cat's pose, something is in trouble.

I think the kitten do not like me and my camera that is why he/she run away when i came to close.
Got a few good captures of the little kitten though.

Oh wow Joe - what a wonderfully timed shot of the bird flying off! Well done!

Christo - awesome light trails that is pure action and the kitty stalking its prey is just as cool!

Well done all!!

Beautiful, amazing and stunning pictures are posting here.
Wow!
Indeed, I also love the variety of them.
What a good photographers are showing here their art work!!!!!

Many compliment to all of you!

I'm looking forward to see your air conditioned ones, Lucinda :D.

Christo.... whatever is that thorny thing the cat is going under??? It looks scarey! I would not like that in my yard, I have a layer of thin skin that attracts that kind of stuff.... OUCH!!!

No idea which plant it is.
I also tend to stay away from such thorny plants.

I was going to show a grackle marching across the tarmac that I took while waiting at the fast food drive through.  But on my last day in Lake Charles I stalked a squirrel. I didn't get very close, but he is moving. So here he is.  (This was taken in the early evening. Still very hot and sticky.)

Here's my last.  This is DJ.  There will be another of him (and his tongue) in my gallery once I catch up a little on comments.  He is my niece Amy's dog and has graced my gallery before.

Lucinda 2 perfect action captures captured by you.
I like them both.
Thank you for sharing them.
This challenge is rocking.

Lucinda... wonderful action here my friend!
Is that a little squirrel??? S W E E T!!!
And the Jack Russel must have heard someone calling for food... I know that is when I get the most reaction out of my dachsie!!

great shots - both of them!

Well, I guess it's late enough in the month that I can post something from earlier in the year and no one will fuss too much!  LOL!  Xander loved the swings ...

Auntietk.
Stunning action capture. Xander in action on the swing and someone in action in the left of the picture walking. Outstandig work.

What a sweet capture Tara! His face radiates enjoyment!  Lovely action shot!

Tara - how wonderful! He is such a cutie!!! Wonderful swing shot! Ahhh - to be a child again! I loved swinging - still do actually!

Excellent swing shot Tara. Xander is such a charming little guy :)

Hmmm i only get ebots every 4th - 6th  time, there has been a post in here.

Hi Tara,

You can see so clear on his face, that Xander loves to swing.
A very joyful action shot. Bravo!

p.s.I still like swinging too

Run spider,  run for your life!

(My 3e and last one :sad: ;-))

i did not know they ate spiders. lol

what you see is not what you know; it in your face

Very intense shot Mies!  This is action of a very unfortunate kind for the spider! Beautiful detail, color, and shadows.  Wonderful capture of a moment that I'm guessing was very brief.
Welcome Jock! You still have time to post 3 images. I've seen excellent action shots in your gallery!

flooded street in front of my house last month.

what you see is not what you know; it in your face

here I was messing around with f stops and low ligthing. My f stop was all the way down to 32 on my len and my len speed is on 8 seconds. My camera was on the table in the other room for the only len i have is a old 70 MM x 280MM... any way i got the idea to click on the camera and walk in front of the camera to see what happen. as you see i a ghost here. I got other ideas along this line. It fun to play like this if you have time.

what you see is not what you know; it in your face

I did not have much time to really play out every thing in my head at the time. i still do not plus I did not have a dlash light to turn on my face to make it come out better.
I do not mind telling people how I do things. It like give the same subject to 100 people and see what they come up with and lol you will see no two will be alike.

I talking about the image with the f stop on 32

what you see is not what you know; it in your face

thought I post one more. this is my street last month

what you see is not what you know; it in your face

i most the time not in the forums. i sorry but time would not let me at times. I know I missed a lot. This the first time I posted in the forums in years it looks like to me.

what you see is not what you know; it in your face

if anyone wondering the 8 seconds is not the timer it the shuter speed. I click and walked in front of the camera as the shuter was open. I thinking of useing a flash light to light up my face next time to see if it will come out better

what you see is not what you know; it in your face

Hi Jocko!

Great,  to see you as a ghost. 
:woot: What an action!
Thanks for the information.
Cool idea and try.

What a lot of water in your street.
It sparkles "nice".  :rolleyes:

Recently, we saw such images here too.
Water, water, and another celestial water.

Also nice to see a bit from where you live.
Cheers,
Mies.

Greetings everyone,
Congratulations to all the authors who have added pictures in these days of my absence. Too bad that I realized recently the existence of these pages, it was fun to participate. In a few days ending on my first year on RR and I will try in future to be more present and to be more curioso.Grazie friends who welcomed me so warmly.

Excellent images Jock! 
Wonderful captures of the very familiar wet of south Louisiana! Love the light hitting the wet streets and the splash. 
Great idea and capture of ghostly motion!

I look forward to seeing more shots from you here, Mario.  I love your gallery!  Congrats on the first year!

Grazie Lucinda , buona domenica

Geeeze, I've missed alot of photos. Gonna have to kick the bot! A whole lot of good action stuff too   :thumbupboth:

I finally got an idea for one, and had a willing participant to do a version of an old nursery rhyme. Although we used a bonfire instead of a candlestick.

Hope I haven't gone over my limit 'cause this one is a triptych....

They say a picture is worth a thousand words...

So where do they go when a photograph leaves you speechless? 

 What a cool idea and excellent execution!  Wonderful action!  Very well done to you and your assistant!

Wow, 'cool' idea, L.P. :cursing: !!!
Your assistant has been lucky.
His back is just not on fire. (LOL)

Lol i will just be staying on solid ground.
I might just land in the fire if i attempt to jump over the fire.
Outstanding series of captures though.

Splendid idea and execution !

Shadow of a pistil

A beauty!!!
Great B. and W.

Very beautiful photo and tones !

Beautiful! Gorgeous shadow!
