Jump for joy by judithg

Jump for joy

As we have no offspring at home for four days and Nigel worked a 22 hour day yesterday we took ourselves off to Wells-Next-The-Sea to air the dog today. It's a bit of a trek, especially when it's foggy and you leave your phone in the staff toilets at Fakenham Lidl, but it was lovely to get some sand and sea air action. Monty loves a beach and the cafe there does nice food and is welly and dog-friendly. A couple more photos will no doubt appear but we've been to the pub for tea so only time for this one ATM. We expected the beach to be deserted but there are obviously some half term holidays already underway and there were quite a few kids enjoying the misty dunes.
Three good things:
1. Honest people who return phones to their forgetful owners.
2. Huge sandy beaches.
3. Beach cafes with buckets, bunting, woolly hats and cake.
PS - Best large again - thank you to everybody who could be faffed yesterday!
Great capture! Happy to hear you got your cell phone back.

@joannapayne Lucky mum!

Oh your eye is so good Judith, I love this! A perfect jump captured in time with the perfect composition & low angle. Nice work!! Fave.
Sounds a lovely day & you were in my sisters stamping ground so I do know the area a little. Wells would be lovely today & we have to grab these late autumn days while we can.
Must be odd with out any children at home!

What a happy photo of children having fun outdoors. Great action shot. FAv

Nice capture of beach frolic. I like the tones, too.

@happypat A bit of sun would be nice but I like a winter beach - and it was more winter than autumn! We went past Walsingham shrine -would have stopped for a proper visit if we hadn't had the Lidl affair!
October 24th, 2012  
Perfect timing! Love the tones.
October 24th, 2012  
That jump just made this into the perfect shot. Brilliant. Glad to hear you had a day off.
October 24th, 2012  
Great timing. I like your editing too
October 24th, 2012  
Love, love, love! Great tones and so pleased about your phone. Tbh, I tend to like to think that there are more honest people in the world than dishonest ones :o) xx

What a fabulous shot. I love the atmosphere. And what a great twist on your skyline theme ~ really excellent! Sounds like you, Nigel, and Monty had a lovely day at the beach.
October 24th, 2012  
You could see this happening and got your focusing just right! The sky behind is a pretty colour!
October 25th, 2012  
what a perfect capture!
October 25th, 2012  
Love that you caught that leap in mid-air!
October 25th, 2012  
Great fun this picture!
October 25th, 2012  
This is amazing. Love it
October 25th, 2012  
Wonderful capture Judith, a absolutely love this ( was brought up in Norfolk!) FAV!
October 25th, 2012  
22 hours sod that but then I did 24 hours the other day and feel nackered
October 25th, 2012  
Lovely action and sort-of-retro shot - atmospheric. Glad your day worked out well in the end. 22 hour day - not good.
October 25th, 2012  
Love it! Love how you captured it mid jump! Gorgeous processing :)
October 25th, 2012  
You caught it just right, looks fab =)
October 25th, 2012  
Well done Judith great timing,I can just imagine Monty charging around on the beach,. btw glad you got your phone back ok.
October 25th, 2012  
Great Dune jumping.
October 25th, 2012  
Don't you just love it when all the stars align and you catch a moment like this?!?! And you get your phone back!!! Just curious, how many frames did you take to capture this?
October 26th, 2012  
@bpaquette Actually I got quite a few jumpers - they kept doing it and the flight through the air was surprisingly slow!!
October 26th, 2012  
Great action shot, I absolutely love Wells next the sea, the beach is huge! Hurray for honest people :)
October 26th, 2012  
Well caught. Love the scene. What are the 3 good things in your comments. Sorry but havnt been keeping up for a while and have missed the relevance of this, is it part of a challenge?
October 26th, 2012  
@jennywren @wrighty started it - it's positive psychology. Finding three good things at the end of each day gives you a brighter view of life.
October 26th, 2012  
Really awesome sighting and shot, Judith! Thanks for sharing. A fav!
October 26th, 2012  
Great shot! Looks like fun!
October 27th, 2012  
Great capture at the right moment!
October 27th, 2012  
I spent one of the best days there - what a lovely place! And you got a marvellous picture out of your trip, too - perfect timing!
October 27th, 2012  
Aaaargh, we climbed over that dune in the fog 24 hours earlier, and bought bunting and a wooly hat in the Beach Cafe! Mind you the fog was so thick, you definitely had it better than us. Leicestershire half term last week, so teacher wife and schoolboy son on hols.
October 27th, 2012  
@seanoneill They wer every stalwart half termers having fun I thought! It was very foggy inland but a bit breezy on the coast so not quite so thick. I'll get round to posting my beach hut shots so we can compare!
October 27th, 2012  
Very cool! I like all your good things very much! The picture is great - I like the mood it conveys and how you caught that person in the air.
