High Jinx by jamibann

High Jinx

Down at my favourite spot at Trocadéro again yesterday, just watching the world go by, camera at the ready! Got lucky. This tourist was doing backward flips and his girlfriend was photographing him. As was I! He wasn't scared. That surface is rock hard. An accident would not have been nice. However, made for a great photo opportunity for me!

On my way to Scotland for 10 days now. Hoping to get our house into some sort of shape for our return at the end of the month. We are getting there, but it's been a long slow process.
wow! awesome!

What a capture!!! Just an amazing scene. And it feels more than a little risky, I agree!

I really like the way you were able to get in that position to catch part of the Eiffel Tower - and that bird timed his appearance for you quite nicely. Amazed at the air that boy has gotten on his flip - you caught it perfectly. Glad to hear he landed safely! Fav

Superb action shot! How do people learn how to do this sort of thing without half-killing themselves I wonder?

@casablanca Ooh, I hadn't noticed! Thanks for telling me!

Loved this one -- great to see it on TT!

Congratulations Issi on your Top Twenty finish! Very deserving!

You're a finalist with this one on the Street-45 and currently in the lead voteswise! I think you can happily say this has been one of your most successful photos - everyone seems to love it!

@casablanca Oh my word, that's a bit of a worry! Should I win, you'll have to help me host the next one - I've never done anything like that before!

@jamibann Don’t worry, it’s easy. I’ll tell you what to do 😀
