Quick! To the Piñata!

Quick! To the Piñata! by Mance.
As soon as the cake was cut the Bride announced "Everyone to the piñata". She then grabbed the nearest flower girl and set of at tremendous pace down the garden.

Whilst running I managed to change my camera settings and catch up with them half way down the lawn. I was running sideways when this was taken.

Look at the flower girl's feet - neither are in contact with the ground

Wow, so this is a real action shot taken at a high risk (i.e. - falling over your own feet)...

This is a superfoto!

P.s.: The colours remind me of mozzarella cheese (white dress), with tomato (red building) and basil (grassgreen).

Cheers Caroline - I love Buffalo Mozzarela salad!

(Also definitely something odd with the Flickr database - only one comment it says on my front page. Anyone else with gremlins? Edit: it now says 6 as soon as I posted this)

Hey, Vince - you 'disappeared' from flickr while I was posting my comment. It said "ooops, you followed a bad link" and I thought you had deleted it. But then I checked my 'contacts' and you weren't there anymore. One or two minutes afterwards you reappeared. Spoooooky.

Very cool indeed, the movement in the shot works very well, i can picture you trying to move backwards to make sure they didn't bump into you! Very well exposed as well, retaining all the detail in all the whites, which must have been tough in those conditions.

Jan : I think it was - thank you
Rebecca: Thankyou. Feel free to contact us should you ever get the urge. I'm sure we could manage a Glasgow wedding - not sure about America or Scandinavia though (joke)
Carl: You are so kind. Actually it was usefully underexposed (and shot in Raw) so managed to get the whites right
