Crazy

Posted by Graham Russon (Cape Town, South Africa) on 17 February 2008 in Sport & Recreation and Portfolio.

Was hot and windy today, we had a picnic at Blaauberg Beach and watched the Kiteboarders in action. I got some wonderful shots of some crazy people doing some crazy stuff.
This was an incredible dramatic shot, with the majestic table mountain in the background.
I will be featuring some of the other action during the week.

@Elisa: Thanks Elisa. Saw a guy land, lose control and hit the beach pretty hard, so crazy and brave, I think.

Tracey from White Hall, United States

Crazy good shot! The stop in the action makes it feel like he is just dangling there in mid air for all time! Yikes! Can't wait to see more!

@Tracey: Thanks Tracey. A lot of the in the sky stuff, tends to look surreal. Problem is getting the kite in shot, loses all the impact and drama as the distance between the surfer and kite is quite far.

Wicked action shot, I'm going to be doing this next weekend! Although maybe not that high in the air!

@DaveB: Thanks Dave. You must get someone to take some pics of you in action. Enjoy

Andrew Gould from Sydney, Australia

Incredible shot, Graham, with the strong looking subject perfectly placed against the softer tones of the mountain looming in the background. This should be in a Lonely Planet photo book or similar publication.
