might as well jump!

I don't normally think  about prompting my subjects to jump for pictures. But I want to start. When you can capture moments like these there's no reason not to!

After our boring self-timer 'family photo shoot', on the last evening of our Spring Break trip (say cheese, etc.) I wanted to let the girls have a little fun.

I shouted, Jump!

And they did. Right on cue. And we had a fantastically funny and playful moments out there on that beach. A perfect way to spend out last evening there.

Now, it's your turn...go ahead and jump!

Looking forward to seeing some of your inspired aerial shots today.

Okay, it's a self portrait of me with my hubby jumping too. He wasn't too happy that I showed it to the world...but it makes me smile :) Even if he looks like Ed Grimley!

i love jumping pics! they are just so free and real to me... no one is trying to be anything for the camera, because they are too busy focusing on jumping and landing safely on their own tow feet. so there is nothing contrived about these photos, and that is why i love them! and i've never seen one without the most genuine smiles on the face(s) of the one(s) jumping. that is why i started this little photography project/blog:

you always get something so unexpected with a jumping shot: funny arms or legs, wild hair, or a great facial expression.

I don't know if you are familiar with this blog, it is all about jumping images from all over the world. When we first encountered we were inspired, and now my son has jump pictures in many of the places we have visited. Here is the link http://jumping-pictures.blogspot.com/

OH! (waving hand enthusiastically!!) - I am a huge, HUGE lover of the jump shot! I've been taking "action" shots (as I call them) for awhile now, and then last year I started the ACTION! Shot Revolution blog as a platform to share jumps with a larger audience.

Here's some of my shots - http://www.flickr.com/photos/niccirf/sets/72157617140919494/
Here's the blog (which is currently on summer break ;) - www.actionshotrevolution.blogspot.com

Happy jumping, everyone :)
