Action!

Yesterday, I had a portrait image of this guy. Today, I am showing him in action as he tosses the caber. These guys are so strong and talented, although what it does to their backs does leave me wondering.

We have a Celtic festival here once a year and the men tossing the caber always impress me. As you say it must put such a strain on their backs.

Great to see the big picture ... they must have to do alot of strenthing exercises....

Lovely action shot full of colour and detail Dianne can't tell from this angle did it go completely over and land straight inline with the competitor? your right they are immensely strong guys:)

[Faye Turner]

Very cool capture!

[Richard Sayer]

Excellent action shot... do they all toss the same caber to ensure that each competitor operates under the same conditions?

[Dianne]

@pcoulson @vignouse yes the caber did flip right over and yes, they all compete with the same pole.

[Dianne]

@delwynforsythe a nice wee town!

[Gillian]

Wow, they really have to be strong to do that. Very interesting.

Huge power in the shoulders for this sport! Maybe he's a logger! Great action and focus!

[Tony]

Perfectly timed action shot.

[Marnie]

Ouch, my back hurts just thinking about it. Great action shot though.

[Valerie Chesney]

Gosh -- he certainly has to be really strong. Good action capture.
