Carnival - Fort Worth, Texas - May 5, 2007

For those interested, it was shot with a Nikon D1x.  Not sure about the lens.

Rick,
The decisive moment springs to mind   ....I keep going back to look at the image as I type, it really is a visual workout. Fabulous!

Cheers

Rick, this would fall under sport photography
Wonderful timing and framing.
It just goes to show that if you know what you are doing, you can achieve it even with a D1x.

Thanks for the comments, Bez and Jakov.

I shot a D1x and D2H combo for years.  They were superb cameras back in the day....

Nice one, I hope he made a soft landing.

[Rick Waldroup]

Thanks, Ron.   Yes, just below the frame was a balloon-type contraption that he fell into.

[John Geerts]

Great shot and timing Rick.   At first glance I thought it were two different images;   nice split of the image.

Wonderfully weird separation of two worlds in a single frame!

[Erik Lund]

Very nicely captured at just the right moment and framing makes it even better!

I loved my D1Xs,,,,

Thanks for all of the comments.

I think I am enjoying my relatively new Nikon Df so much because it reminds me of shooting with my D1x and D2H several years ago.
