Rope Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

A man told me that he heard two boys already died... I don´t believe... or it wouldn´t be allowed.
Every Sunday you can find people playing "rapel" "body jump" and this "sport" they call "rope"...
Boys and girls jump from a highway, over the Sumare subway station, crossing over the Sumaré Avenue (that can be viewed in the picture).
I´ve tried many shots... my Nikon is not good for focusing moving objects... this was a lucky one.
6th addition to the hunt:an unsafe act.
All critiques are wellcome.

Wonderful shot Carmen! Great DOF and shutter speed as well. It's so sharp, well captured. Can you describe more about this sport?

Great shot you caught the moment very well. I like the bluring of the car.

Crazy! Great action shot, all elements are good, the blurring car and the people on the rope came out very clear

A great action shot, you captured the motion very well - the moving car add extra dynamics to your shot. The street and bridge pillar make an amazing graphical background for the boys, and you got a nice matching of the colors here. Also, very good and careful postprocessing.
And, indeed, this looks very dangerous!

Without fast moving car this shot would be not so dramatic and would lose its dynamics.
Good capture, Carmem

Hello Carmen,
A good composition, the two sharp guys, the well placed car giving some mouvement.
