Camera:Canon EOS-30D Lens:Canon EF 17-40mm f/4.0 L USM Location: Gladstone Park, London Date: Feb 18, 2008 Aperture: f10 ISO: 100 Shutter: 1/50th Date Uploaded: Feb 18, 2008
This is the shot that I was going to use for the Leading Lines challenge but I decided it was too boring and used it as a backdrop to muck about for an SP. I took loads of exposures all down the path but because of the narrow perspective there was very little room to squeeze in more instances of me.
So, I got home and wasn't happy with this shot and decided that jumping was fun, and I needed to get another shot. Remembered that Deb has one of those exercise trampolines under the couch, so pulled it out and started to jump. Nearly really hurt myself when I tried doing it in the dark. Dumb.
Here's my favourite from those:
and an unedited outtake showing the trampoline but also a fun shot:
You know what? When I opened this window and started to scroll down to type a comment, the top of the photo disappeared off the top of the screen, so that it was 'cropped' into a square(ish) and the foreground you was only visible up to the shoulder. I actually preferred that composition, as I feel that your face in that portion is wearing an expression that's too busy concentrating on looking at the camera.
Oh my jumping is always fun. IF I have a model who is getting down or something I just have them jump on the mini for a bit and really get the blood flowing. Great image, very fun.
I like the ones of you jumping, and not haveing you totally frozen, the movement adds to the shot, but you just standing there in the middle seems a little out of place, but great composition non-the-less.
