Title: Morning swim

About the Photo:

During a week’s holiday to the island of Ærø in Denmark, I went to the beach every morning to make a long exposure of the bathing jetty. Every morning something went wrong; the light wasn’t right, or the tide was too low. On the last morning the conditions were perfect, and I started the long exposure. One minute into the exposure a woman appeared, she undressed and ran naked onto the jetty, jumped into the water, swam around for a moment, climbed up the stairs and ran back. Unfortunately, my exposure was too long so she did not stick.
