Day 302 – Jump!

A friend of mine has asked me to do a portrait of her leaping so I thought I ought to practice. Also, I got a third wireless remote which now allows me to auto-focus with the remote and fire the camera and flash at the same time without having to use the pop-up flash as a master, so this was practice using those wireless shutter releases as well.

On top of this, Sweetie and I woke up all achy and with slight fevers, so I’m surprised I was able to find the energy to do this. But then, Sweetie went out to fly his radio-controlled airplane, so I guess you could say we both have our addictions.  He stumbled in a little while ago and I fully expect him to pass out in his overstuffed chair.

Please excuse the dorky look on my face. (And this was actually one of the better ones.)  It was quite tricky firing the camera at the right time to make sure my feet were in the air.  Shot at 400 ISO at f/8. 1/200s.

    • It’s actually not that hard. I use auto-focus on my wireless shutter release while I am standing there. Then I jump in the same location. Also need to use an f/stop of at least f/8. Seems to work!
