UK - London - Nikon Centenary Meetup - Parkour 07_DSC7998
Another shot taken during the recent Action Photography workshop with Tom Miles ( www.tmphoto.co.uk/ ) and three parkour experts.
Having been selected as one of 100 photographers to take part in the #Nikon100 Centenary #Nikonmeetups the day involved five seperate themed shoots around different locations in London. All in all it was a superbly organised event and I captured a wide variety of shots.

From Wikipedia : "Parkour (French pronunciation: [paʁkuʁ]) is a training discipline using movement that developed from military obstacle course training. Practitioners aim to get from one point to another in a complex environment, without assistive equipment and in the fastest and most efficient way possible. Parkour includes running, climbing, swinging, vaulting, jumping, rolling, quadrupedal movement, and other movements as deemed most suitable for the situation. Parkour's development from military training gives it some aspects of a non-combative martial art.
Parkour is an activity that can be practised alone or with others and is usually—but not exclusively—carried out in urban spaces. Parkour involves seeing one's environment in a new way, and imagining the potential for navigating it by movement around, across, through, over and under its features.
Parkour was developed in France, primarily by Raymond Belle, and further by his son David and the latter's group of friends, the self-styled Yamakasi, during the late 1980s. The discipline was popularised in the late 1990s and 2000s through films, documentaries, and advertisements featuring the Yamakasi."
