Jumping stones

Ever launched a flat stone to make it slide on the sea surface? A childish game, perhaps, but I do still love it!

Impressive to be skimming the stone so successfully, but to then manage to be quick enough to catch on camera - so well composed... very skilful.

[JackieR]

Wow, how did you lob pebble AND get this shot??

[Maggiemae]

Take a bit of organising unless you used a tripod?

[Taffy]

We call it skipping stones. I'm impressed you both skipped the stone and photographed the result. Hidden talents!

[amyK]

Very cool

[Marnie]

We call it ducks and drakes, and yes, it's lots of fun.

[Richard Sayer]

I like doing it with round ones - it's more challenging...

[Clare Gadsby]

ha well captured!

[Angelika van Rooyen]

I think we all do, when we have a flat stone in our hand, we slip back in our childhood!

@helenhall @30pics4jackiesdiamond @maggiemae @taffy Thank you so much! Yes, I used a tripod and my phone as remote controller of the Sony.
@amyk @pistache Thank you! @golftragic @vignouse @angelikavr I'm in good company, then! Thank you.

Great and creative idea, and well captures. Skipping rocks is not childish at all. Imho. In if it would be: adult life is to serious to not slide a rock or two, once in a while.

@mona65 thanks a lot, Mona!

[David]

Impressive achievement! Two things most of us struggle with separately ... !

[Domenico Dodaro]

@lostphojo Thanks a lot! Life is happy if one’s happy with such small achievements! ;)

[Krista Marson]

talented to skip stones and take a photo simultaneously!

[Walks @ 7]

Skipping stone skill, very cool. I also like how the wake is receding into the openness of the water.

@blueberry1222 thank you, there are expedients to get there!
@joysabin thAnk you so much, yes that was the idea.
