Challenge: Leap Day: In The Style Of: Natsumi Hayashi (Advanced Editing VII)
Camera: Canon EOS-5D Mark II
Lens: Canon EF 17-35mm f/2.8L
Location: The Vacuum Store
Date: Mar 1, 2012
Aperture: 4.5
ISO: 5000
Shutter: 1/800
Date Uploaded: Mar 3, 2012

 It was a slow day at work. So I snapped off a few frames. Camera was on the floor, supported by stuff. I used the 2 second timer for the shot. It gave just enough time, to hit it and get ready to jump. A single flash was on camera. Shot at a very high iso. This let me balance the ambient background. Plus freeze the subject, with no background shadow. It was fun and tiring. It is amazing how thinking about a shot and jumping, can really take the energy.

I sound like a Dad from the 50's. I meant the hair was giving away the leap.

Too funny! I love it. Nice tones and dof. Ryan or Susan shot, I believe.

Absolutely amazing angle! I love this! Definite "levitating" feel here! Nice conversion to black and white as well

Good effort, but the pov and clutter interfere with the effect. More importantly, though, the largest component of the image is out of focus, and not particularly attractive.

interesting angle! :)

wonderful, the best I've seen so far, half way through voting. Looks like levitating, but also a well-shot photo, not just a picture of someone jumping in an uninteresting location/composotion. Well done
