today we saw some guys jumping off the roof of the ICA (institute of contemporary art) into the boston harbor. some 90 feet if i remember correctly. before they were down in the water, they did some nice turns and flips and what-not. but it went so very fast i missed many of the jumps (i guess a jump took 3 seconds?). also, i did not want to sit ready with my camera, until they would finally make the jump. and the few times i did, i didnt see anything of the jump as i was too busy clicking..., or seeing that i held my camera wrong and he jumped a little to the right, or left... most shots that i did manage to take were blurry, or just empty...
i guess this is the only one that worked out... :)
it was super- supercrowded! but the weather was nice, and we had a good spot (thanks to our friends who were there much earlier than us; we somehow managed to miss the stop while on the subway, and had to go back, and it all took forever and ever). ah well... i dont think i want to become a cliff diver (they were all wearing tiny speedos), and before people realize what you are doing is amazing, its already over. besides, i prefer to be in the water, rather than jumping into it all the time....

The photo is very well done! It is very difficult to catch a moving object indeed.
Cool photo Cat!
It looks like this fellow has good form but I'd pass on doing it myself.
My camera takes multiple fast shots, so I get lots of them and sooner or later one is good. I love this feature but it means going through dozens of pix to find any worth keeping. That's how I got the rodeo shots I'm posting now.
