This is me and my friend Frederik. One thing I love about being with a fellow photographer is that they will say something like this out of nowhere… Okay now jump and I’ll take pictures of you! We had the best time shooting each other in midair this afternoon with his brand new Canon 5D Mark II. (If you know what camera this is you are drooling right now)
I was reminded today of how much fun photography can be. If you are playful with it there is so much magic that can appear in your viewfinder. With every one of these shots I was amazed to find us in midair. It was impossible! but true that these little boxes can capture such unlikely things.
Shake things up everyone; jump in the air, leap across your kitchen floor, make some magic and share it with us here.

Crystal Chick says
I do this with every child I photograph and they love it. I love it because it means they’re having fun while I’m taking pictures.

Of course, it helps if you have a trampoline:

problem is I need to find me a local photographer friend, someone who doesn’t live on the other side of the continent like all my photography blogging buddies…

Jumping shots are always so much fun! Here is a shot I took last summer of my husband and son jumping off the diving board into the pool.

I love jumping shots as well! So combine a trampoline and a hamster’s funeral and this is what you get.

This is me in 2006. My sister took it for an assignment in a photography class she was taking. This is a really dusty scan though.

Jumping is one of my favorite things, too – but my absolute favorite "superhero" shot is this one: http://www.flickr.com/photos/crazyunclejoe/2096811576/in/set-72157608751725476/
Kelley Frese says
I love the jump shot for the mid air shot but, also for the fun that follows. This client takes a jump shot at each new place they visit together so I thought it fitting to include it in our time together.

I cracked up when you said "One thing I love about being with a fellow photographer is that they will say something like this out of nowhere… Okay now jump and I’ll take pictures of you!" So true.
Her is my kiddo jumping.

Being 38 weeks pregnant, I’m not sure if it was entirely safe to be jumping like this – but I had fun ๐
