It's Memorial Day weekend and that means summer is starting on Cape Cod. I was out yesterday with a bunch of the kite surfers - more pictures of them in an upcoming post. Today, I went out to photograph people at Chapoquoit and got some nice shots of kids playing in the surf and people walking on the beach.
On my way home I spotted a small group of kids jumping of the bridge on the road to Chapoquoit. This is a favorite summertime activity and I love to photograph them when I can. I stopped and got set-up in time to capture the last jump any of them did. This particular young man is quite athletic, and fearless. He did his jump by running across the road and leaping over the guardrail while turning a flip. He probably shouldn't show these pictures to his mother.
I should have been zoomed in tighter, but from where I was standing below the bridge I couldn't see him on the road as he was about to start his jump. I zoomed out a bit to give myself some room for error since I was guessing when and where he would come over the rail.
Rain tomorrow, but hopefully there will be some more opportunities for cool shots before that starts.
