Polish Girls Can Jump

Watch out little birdies!!
Love this detail! ♥
Whats that?
A periscope
Polish Girls Can Jump by Poe Tatum.
I was on my way to bed having had a full and long day and I saw my Nikon D3X sitting there and thought to myself "Self.. We have an eye deer!". I like when you get those little flashes of inspiration like bolts out of the blue. They are like wind in my sails no brain wracking to come up with a creative idea. It might form and my mind for days and then just "BAM!" you get it and it all comes into sharp focus.

It's nice when you get that. I'm not 100% happy with the splashes but all the motion is nice. It's a good picture for a Tuesday anyway. Well.. I think so anyway.

Thank you for the invite :)

Thank you so very much glad you liked it :D

Aww thank you that's so nice of you to say! On a scale of 1 to 10 I am about a 6 on the satisfied with it scale. Oh anyone can do this it just takes some practice, if you have questions about Photoshop feel free to ask. :D

I'm not entirely sure how I do it. Lots of brain wracking and photoshop time I guess. I am not sure if it's hard or easy stuff anymore to be honest? hehe.

Thank you very much glad you liked it :D

Thank you :D

Your crazy, girl :D

How long do you need for something like that? And where did you learn to do things like that?

great action, very simple, love the body shape, and the lack of face, if you see what i mean? gives it a much more abstract and dynamic quality....

Haha - I read the tags and just had to see where you snuck Hello-Kitty in there. LOL
You may not be happy with the splashes, but I am in awe of them. Great work Ania - the processing rocks, and even though there are elements of darkness, there is also a sense of joy and exuberance.

This artwork invokes a lot of feeling from me. I am terribly horrified of Tornados, but of course attracted to the polish girl who can jump! Just amazing again, and I love the tint you used.

I'm going to assume you have a "fast" camera and a tripod? OR is your GF taking these pictures? This is great..... love the tornado in the background. JUMP POE JUMP!

Spontaneous creativity is one of the main reasons I'm doing the 365 project. Those bolts out of the blue can be addictive.

Spectacular portrait. The tornado is a awesome touch.

I see stuff like the background in some of my dreams. So far, I have not had any dreams that included jumping Polish girls. At least, now, I will recognize what I'm dreaming if one ever jumps around my sleeping brain.

Thank you very much :)

Not long anymore. About 2 hours for an image like that including the photography :)

Thank you so very much, glad you liked it! :D

Oh yes I completely agree with the missing view of the face it lends to the interestingness (?) of the photo and also helps add (I think) to the dark nature of it. Thank you for your wonderful feedback :D

Thanks :D

I'm glad you liked the splashes, they've worn on me a bit now that I have had to look at them. I always have fun with my tags (some serious, some silly). I'm glad someone reads them besides me, haha. Yeah it's a bit fantastical and silly and a little dark and brooding it plays with the eye and where it wants to look a bit. So glad you liked it Ian! :D

Thank you my dear! I'm glad you liked it, yeah it can be a tad scary and a tad whimsical too. Glad you liked it (Oh and I love this tint lately too!)

Awesome! I'm glad you liked it thank! I had fun with it!! :D :D

Thanks girlie!! Glad you liked it. And I'm glad to see you out and about, I'd hate to think of my stuff as boring and "1 trick pony" stuff :(

My camera is extremely fast (5fps or so) so you can snap out a lot of photos and find one you like.. If not, rinse and repeat. You can tripod your camera and trigger it remotely too just focus on where you're going to be :)

I've thought about doing a 365 but I like the freedom to skip days that I have by not doing one. Though I can see that they would push you to be unique(ish) each day. Spontaneous is definitely good though where-ever you find it. Glad you liked the tornado too! :D Love your flickr name as well :)

hehe, If you have a dream featuring jumping Polish girls you might need to see a physicians.. Just sayin' hehehe, we're a fearsome breed. The background though I can see in my head when I think of scary nature things. :(

Thank you so much!! Glad you liked it :D :D

Well thank you so much! :D I've noticed my shots that are a tad darker, never do well on views though. Not complaining I love this piece, was just a curious observation.

Thank you so much! Yeah jumping has that effect, objects in motion, water flying really gives that whole movement thing.. Uh.. Movement :D hahaha. Glad you liked the outfit too :D Thanks for the fav as well B man :D

Thank you so much! Yeah I been smitten with these tones for awhile and they have been making recurring appearances in my photostream for a bit. The splashes wore on me, I am happier with them now than when i was doing them so that's something I guess. :D
