Water Polo

[Julian de'Courcy]

Water Polo can be a tough Game as well as Cold. This game was in a fishing village outer harbor. It used to be a traditional sport around the Cornish coast and i am sure the coast of Britain as a whole. Today it is only occasionally played in the sea and then the odd wet suit can be seen among players. I guess they are the wimps.

Belters!

No1 stands out clearly! Movement, expression - it's all there!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Agreed. Really good shots, Julian. Hope you didn't get your camera wet!

#1 - so dramatic in B&W - like watching a ballet

 

[Julian de'Courcy]

Thanks to all.

 

[Pete Askew]

An excellent set Julian. Like the others though, the first stands out with all that action.

They are all good, but the first one is a cracker. I don't know why, but they kind of make me smile.

Stoaters the lot of them Julian! But for some reason #4 appeals most to me.

Thanks Pete. When I signed in and saw the alert tab and word water Polo, I thought wow someone else is photographing water polo. Not to realise an old post had risen from the depths of the harbour

Greatly Appreciated Brian. Thanks.

I don't recall seeing these last year Julian. A cracking set and I love the way they seem to have been processed the same and yet toned differently. I too think the first one is best

I used to play a bit of Water polo in my younger days, only ever played in pools never in the sea. No.1 sums it up for me. Brilliant shot, and great set.....

Thank you Julian. Yes it is plated a lot here, in the outer harbours. This was the harbour at Mevagissey with the locals and Charlestown players.
