4 Ball Half Shower - No Strings Attached

Challenge: Stopped Motion IV (Advanced Editing V)
Camera: Canon EOS-30D
Lens: Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II

 Let me first say that this is actually me juggling 4 silicone balls. THey are not hanging by any threads or anything. I can juggle 5 very well, but I can't juggle 5 and look at the camera. I can with 4. 3 didn't seem like enough to have a good impact image wise.

Taken with the 50mm, 420ex to the right bounced off a white umbrella fired with the 580ex on camera. I initially was trying to have Aidan or Rowan click the shutter with the remote but for some reason they were having a real hard time getting it to fire. So I ended up going with the timer. I lucked out with this capture having 3 balls in the air and a clean pose with both my arms in the shot.

Don't expect this to do gangbusters. Hopefully a 6 at least. I guess it just depends on whether or not people actually think they are in the air from throwing and not from hanging.

Very cool shot. Excellent job with multitasking here lol. I think it's your gaze into the camera that really pulls me in.

Well done. I think the balls are in alignment and spaced so as not to obscure the subject's face. Great choice on the black shirt and background. Focus and the crop are dead on. Outstanding.

Not sure how you did it since there are no strings attached but good job on giving the appearance of stopped motion. The black on black is great.

so the subject can really juggle? very cool. His right shoulder disappears into the background, but other than that it is a nice shot.

OK, the title confuses me - what is a "half shower"? If he is juggling these, he is good! As is the image :) 9

WOW, love this, the focus, detail and lighting. The mid flight of the white balls against the black do it for me in this!
