B&W Photo Contest - Action Entry #1 - 'Quiet is Might, Solitude is Strength'
Here is my 1st entry to the #bwphotocontest for the theme Action hosted by @daveks.
Titled 'Quiet is Might, Solitude is Strength', this is a photo of Alenka Artnik of Solovenia coming up from a 71 meter national record dive on Free Immersion. Free Immersion (FIM) is a discipline where you dive by pulling yourself against the ropes using your hands and arms. 71 meters down, 71 meters up, on one breath of air, and a quiet, strong, peace of mind.
Fear is inevitable in freediving, especially when conquering such depths, but Alenka shows how one can embrace such fears and turn them into bliss.
Love it!
Thanks for entering in this weeks photo challenge! I have a very touch decision ahead of me as there are so many great entries this week!
Right now you are in the running for placing for sure. Still have another of yours to check. Out of hundreds so far yours are some of my fav.
SteemOn!
Im so happy to read this, Thank you so much @quinneaker! It's an honor to be selected!
Well deserved!
SteemON!
I love how this is 'stillness' in action... if you know what I mean...
Congrats on your winning the bwphotocontest! :)
YES that's exactly it! Thanks @ackoo!
Beautiful and terrifying - 142m on one breath. I can't imagine how dark it gets and the pressure of the water. Wow!
Thanks scotty! I've only been to 32m but that was already dark enough for me to feel panicky with the pressure squeezing my lungs to 1/4 the usual size, but at 71m her lungs would have been at 1/8 the size, like a size of a tennis ball..or maybe even smaller.. 😱
😱 is the right expression lol. I've done a few night (scuba) dives and it's so weird getting that feeling of losing your bearings, not knowing which way is up or down. Your stuff is next level.
stunning compo and the moment
Thank you @victorbz, much appreciated!
