DIVING OFF THE BRIDGE

Lake Hawkins, TX

Some "Bubbas"(that's what we call them) were jumping and diving off the bridge when I was headed to my sister's house. I think they had a bit to drink. Hope nobody got hurt.

Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi
1/1600s f/5.6 at 135.0mm iso200 full exif

They are called "Tombstoners" over here....yes, hope he was OK. Good shot, though.

Hope the water is deep

Nice stop action but that is such risky behavior.
Wei O'Connell03-Jul-2011 04:17
Perfect timing. Hope the water is deep enough :-)

Great action shot .
Did you get time to switch to multi exposure ?
The angle hes in does not look aerodynamic maybe a painful belly flop.

Was there any water left in the river? Great capture Cindi!

You should photoshop a cape for him!! LOL Great catch!
Margot W02-Jul-2011 15:33
Another amazing shot Cindi.
Let's hope he goes head first or he may not want to try that again.
Doug Cruden02-Jul-2011 15:25
Blimey, I hope there's plenty of water in that lake LOL!!!!

That's a big bubba. Great timing to get him in midair. Not exactly graceful, but very cool nonetheless. :)

that takes some daring from such a height...but good fun on a hot day..

Bubba's gonna make a big splash with that form ... nice catch, Cindi.

Oh my goodness, I don't see anything good coming out of this! Great catch Cindi!

What a belly flop!

That's going to make a splash.... :)
