encore! by summerfield

encore!

bellguard of one of the weapons used in an olympic sport that uses bladed weapons.

the sport is cleverly depicted in alia's @alia_801 post for today: http://365project.org/alia_801/365/2012-08-02

This is the handle to a fencing sword? Nice shot and tones.

@michaelelliott - what`s up? are you still posting? missing 365 maybe? :-)
August 3rd, 2012  
@summerfield - I had a little time so just free wheeling around 365. Did feel a bit strange today not lugging around camera. I mean every day for a year was planned around getting shots and all. But I needed a short break and will shoot again next week.
August 3rd, 2012  
@michaelelliott - good for you. enjoy the break. me, i'm too addicted to stop. i guess this is my stress relief. hahaha!
August 3rd, 2012  
@summerfield Oh me too. Any time I'm stressed or feeling upset, I'd grab my camera and totally get lost shooting around the city for hours. Later nothing seemed so bad anymore. I'm just tired. That video was way more work than I thought it would be and I suck at computers and technology. I'm very very happy with it but it was a struggle. Well I'm off to bed. Good nite Vicki and nice chatting with you :)

@steeler - en garde! i love that you like most of my subjects. except for the darn beans, eh? thank you, howard.
August 3rd, 2012  
@summerfield Am I missing something? Is this the answer to the ribbons with the arrow shot or is there another one? Sorry, my brain is still somewhat in a fog! Or did I just tell you that you'd find a subject and you're telling me this is it? Wow- it's only 10 AM and I'm done in. This cold is worse than I thought!

My husband took fencing in college, but his foils were not nearly so decorative
August 3rd, 2012

August 3rd, 2012
