Life Aquatic
4th April 2008 – 5:30am Bronte Pool
Canon 350D, 18mm, f8, 20sec, tripod.
20sec exposure captured the stretch before the swim – right place right time : )
One of my all time favourites.
Image used for various ACP workshop brochures and media and one of National Trust Top Picks in ‘I love this place because’ competition 2008.

Wow! great shot! Love the misty water you got from long exposure. The swimmer still looks pretty sharp, did you use a flash?
Chris Jallard replied
Cheers Wanagi – no flash used on this one. The swimmer jumped into the pool and began to stretch. He stayed still for about 15-20sec so the image looks sharp. Look closely and you can see him starting to swim off.

Glenn Alderson

Steve Chapple

Chris Jallard
Many Thanks Paul – my all time favourite image. I took this for a weekly assignment for an ACP course – and ended up being my first exhibition piece. A shot to remember
Lisa Kenny
great shot Chris !! The swimmer there is a bonus !
Chris Jallard
Thanks Lisa : ) – it’s been a while since i looked at this one and i now realise how well it all came together. The other shots i have of this pool are good but like you say the swimmer gives it much more meaning.

At first glance I had no idea what this was. The longer you look at it the better it gets. You also seem to have caught Venus on her wanders.
Chris Jallard
Thanks for the Fave Mark – the smaller shots don’t do it justice either. Big is much much better : )
Adam Gormley
