Incredibly - one handed! by robz

Incredibly - one handed!

This was so much fun - it made me miss teaching just a little bit.These girls from a select private school in Brisbane were at the Water Exhibition. This exhibit was designed to give you an idea of the difficulty faced by species when they move from one medium to another - the physics of motion is suddenly changed enormously. The rings are on varying lengths of rope and free to swing randomly. The aim is to move from end of the room to the other without touching the floor. I had a go - got about 2 metres and looked sooo ungainly - then fell off.
I couldn't believe it when I saw one of the girls recording it all on her phone...
Great colors and interesting story. It’s a clever way of demonstrating. The girls will never forget the feeling. Fav

Intriguing! The rings made for a great photo subject, and the SC worked great with the girls all in green.

Great capture

Cool! It looks dangerous to me.....but I’m absolutely rubbish at gymnastics

nice processing - your description of the intent immediately made me thing of koalas on the ground

Great edit, hubby has just said he’d love a go at that!!

@30pics4jackiesdiamond LOL Jackie - he did! And he's been banned from showing it to anybody!! :)

I hope she didn't record your effort, hehe. Lovely capture. We think we can still do the things we used to until we try and fail miserably. Don't worry this will happen to them someday, too.

That would be challenging for anyone! I know I wouldn't be able to do it, but my grandchildren would love this!

Love the colour fade, seems to emphasise the difficulty with the exercise
February 16th, 2020  
The colors are perfect and boy that looks hard. Good for you for giving it a go
February 17th, 2020  
Cool capture, not for the balance challenged, like me.

I would probably fall off also, but I would like to try that. Love the shot with the colors and the action.

Looks fun !

Fantastic idea and a nice story :) I like that they wear the same colour (a school uniform?), this make it look like a performance to me. Must be a very interesting exhibition.

What a very intriguing photo! You have captured it so well, and how nice of them to dress alike for you! Fav
