Jump!...

Even if I don't actually enter them, I am still trying to do weekly photography assignments as proposed by online Digital Photography School ...It is inspiring to have a new topic to work on weekly and fun to see the many, many different submissions...from great to so-so. Sometimes the assignments are technical but this week the assignment is "Jump"....So over the weekend my daughter and her family obliged by taking a few jumps for me...






...Even Mr. O. jumped in!..



For half of the shots I had my camera on the wrong setting...and the bright overhead sun made it challenging for me to get the correct exposure... but I did learn more while doing this and everyone had fun...and that is the whole idea!

Oliag, every one of those shots is a keeper! Your daughter can jump really high! It appears that your son-in-law is standing on the droplets of water! And the shadow under your daughter in the 4th picture makes it look as if she left part of herself behind. I love them all!

These are wonderful, Oliag. My favorite, by far, though, is Mr. O!

Great shots, Oliag! Was your daughter ever a gymnast--she jumps so high. Mr. O is great. Thanks for sharing.

ds - Thank YOU for looking!...my daughter did take gymnastics when she was quite a bit younger and I was quite impressed with how high she jumped too!
