Description
Swinging on a rope and shooting at the same time - just one of the many skills you'll need before you can be certified as a master Tomb Raider. Oh, and you'll also need a pen to fill out all the forms, but that's the easy bit. Unless they make you do that on a rope too I guess.

Obviously the swinging and shooting wasn't much trouble for the lovely Sari Croft as you can see. Sari used a flipped version of this shot in her Legend montage Other adventures of Lara Croft 2 , but here you see it the right way around and much larger (plus I've cropped things differently). Sadly the original photo was lost, so for this edit I had to work from second best - a rather low quality jpg which got created at some point. The jpg artifacting was pretty bad, but with some careful work I've done my best to counter that and restore some image fidelity, to help the crofty goodness shine through. As ever, it's a great pleasure to add another picture of Sari to my gallery.

This shot was taken in August 2011 by Sari's sister. Contrary to what you might've thought at first glance, Sari is actually swinging backwards - as suggested by the way her hair is flying and the direction of the lower end of the rope. You can read a bit about that rope in her description for Rope action 3 , taken the same day. Sari tells me that "initially the idea was to train and try the wall run and shooting upside down and after that the environment just inspired and we did what occured to us". Must've been a great day!

Note: For more on the editing, see my comparison pic 'Swing time' before and after .

Image update, November 6th: I made the gun's front sight a bit more prominent, a detail I overlooked which was bugging me.
