Never heard ping pong called wiff waff before. It makes sense though, it sounds like the noise it makes when you swing the paddle.
cool postwork
Outstanding post work Andrea. God bless.
I used to love watching Table tennis on the TV, but that awful rubber shoe squeak on the polished floor used to jar me, so I'd watch with the volume down.
Well done - interesting postwork and composition.
Great shot! It looks so bleak, yet bright with the prom disappearing into the sunlight! I played table tennis in the local league for years when I was a lad, but had never come across the term wiff-waff!
great photo and wonderful postwork
I love how your fiddle gives this a sheen; great work!
Very nice and siple shot. I do like the postwork :)
Not played table tennis in years, super digifiddle!!!
Ping pong, wiff waff - both sound like a bad smell but what lovely surroundings.
The wind off the ocean must be a huge problem though?
I was great at table tennis in my youth..... had I pursued it I might have been able to make a career out of it until music and art took control.
Nice post work. It gives the image a sort of sci-fi look. I had a friend named Al Fresco once. Funny guy, I could never get him to come indoors to eat.
Looks like a they'd make a great place to stand for a higher viewpoint.
When I saw your title, I thought it was a play on riff-raff. We sometimes call this game gnip gnop (pronounced ganip-ganop), which is simply ping pong spelled backwards. So many odd names for such a simple game!
Superb capture!
Like tara, I too thought it was a play on "riff raff"---like "riff raff" said by a little kid. (And gnip gnop? Someone actually calls this 'gnip gnop'??? How about ka-ching, ka-chung...) I read a little on the name. I didn't know there was that much passion about it, lol! Well, with the image, you've turned the tables into these aluminum sheen-like surfaces, almost like metal that'd been rained on. And the sea has been whited out by intense sun. Even the blue walls have a certain metallic look. It's got big sweeps of light, and the composition is very broad. I really like the shot and your treatment. It has a vastness in your treatment---not something one usually associates with table tennis. Fine work, Andrea. As always, with your postwork.
