 So I live in an old Victorian mansion (with a lot of other people). I had some of my friends through rolls and rolls of toilet paper off the 3rd story porch, which thanks to high ceilings is taller than most 3 story porches!

I was underneath on the stairs snapping as quickly as possible.

I shot in raw, adjusted exposure, brightness, and white balance in the raw, saved to a tiff. Then I cloned out sensor dust, adjusted the curves, scaled to a smaller size and then ran the unsharp mask.

I figured for the whole shoot I probably had to pick up 200+ rolls of toilet paper once they fell.

One of the very few in this challenge that meets the challenge description, IMHO. Objects in the air caught at high shutter speed.

Well done... but not... perfectly done. I know it's difficult, but I really want that closest roll to be in focus. Back later to vote...

Not sure what these are TBH, would have liked it more with a squarer crop to get rid of the 3 and a bit rolls on the right hand side.
