Picture perfect timing – in pursuit of that great jump shot

So recently I went on a vacation to Hawaii and got to go snorkeling.  When we got off the boat into the water, there was the option to jump in, so of course I jumped (haha) at the opportunity.  Unfortunately, in my quest for that perfect jump shot, I only got a bunch of almosts and a couple of utter fails.  I guess not everyone has a knack for awesome timing like me.  😛  If only I could shoot pictures of myself jumping… I guess I could get a tripod, but I was really hoping that Panda could get the shot for me. Oh well, here’s what we ultimately got:

big splash in ocean where i jumped in

First attempt at the jump shot – got one big splash in the ocean instead.

This is my “so did you get it?” look. And the answer is no. 🙁

I climbed back up after snorkeling for about an hour and we tried again.

After that fail, I came back up under the boat for another try.

Once again, it was “oops I missed it but I got you in the water.”

This time he got me prepping to jump.

Well, this is when I was starting the jump… the closest we’d gotten so far!

Finally, some semblance of me jumping!! While I wish my feet were off the boat, this was good enough. We’d tried half a dozen times already!
