i love to jump

1. jump, it's my birthday, 2. jump, 3. jump, 4. 193/365 - i just like to jump, 5. 132/365 - bench monday - autumn sunshine, 6. bluebells!

I love to jump and leap...

I'm often drawn to take a jump shot if the location excites me... it almost demands it.

Do you like jump? have you tried it? I know that it's not everyone's cup of tea. But if you're tempted, why not have a go?

Here's how I do it - Place your camera, aligning the framing you want... fix your focus point... set to self-timer... move into position... and only jump when you see the countdown finishing, and just before the shutter releases, so you're in the air. Sometimes magic happens and it works. Sometimes you have to try again. It comes with practice and it's all about playing & having fun.

Do you have any jumps shots you'd like to share, we love to see them!

This picture is of my little boy Kenzie jumping. He was 7 and had just finished 4 years of chemotherapy for bone cancer. The exuberance in the picture is a good reflection of how we all felt that summer, and is one of my all time favourite photos - even though it's not technically great!

I LOVE doing the jumping poses. When I was deployed I made my crew take photos of me jumping everywhere. It is a staple of my photography

I remember this one so clearly because this was a result of many attempts and it was becoming quite a workout and my son and I were giggling so much due to all the jumping :D http://www.flickr.com/photos/jendizon/6018034616/in/set-72157629062157041

I love jumping shots! Here is one I took of my husband and daughter. They both know how much I love to shoot photos of them jumping so they are always game.

My little niece loves the attention, so had her be my model this summer - she knows how to work it!

and I like this one because only part of my daughter is in the pic - conveys the feel of a jump I think
