 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:



PP: usual stuff - nothing fancy.

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.

You could cut out some of you jumping in the room, and have you jumping in the park much, much higher. ;-Þ

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.
