Nice action capture Glenn. All down to the
timing on these. I am glad you posted your
friends one as it is a great comparison. I
take it that is him on the jetty in your
shot...Because he is that much closer he has
filled the frame more, but also the splash in
the water is further away in his shot, so you
can see someone else has gone into the water. Because of your angle of shot, it almost
looks like one of those films played in
reverse, making it look like she has come out
of the water, back onto the jetty...lol Great
action shot, and a great lesson on how a
different angle can really change a shot.
Thanks everyone and thanks Flickr! Wow... I
was wondering what happened to my stats. :)
Yes, Scott is wearing the blue hat and
green/gray coat. I hadn't noticed the whole
"backwards jump" thing until you
pointed it out... very cool! :) Yes, angles
can certainly make a difference. :)
Great shot Glenn, and congrats on explore!
Just had to share this with you as it looks
like exactly the same moment but captured
from the front.....now, all you need is to
find the shot the guy behind her got! photobynewman.tumblr.com/

That's awesome that we have essentially the same shot from 2 vantage points.

I would rather hold the camera and take the shot than jump like them. Brrrrrr!

Thanks, Phil! My only concern with any shot from the fellow on the wharf is that it might not be safe for work! Eek! Heheheheh :)
