thursday's jumps are the bomb, the long jump & the air guitar:

the second one looks like " does my bum look big in this" ! ;P

shaks head and wonders whether in fact you are tigger in diguise HMmmmm

Jumping with a prop! Sure that could extend the jumping theme by at least another week? ;) Love the face in that bottom one!! Classic..

absolutely! prop jumping is now de rigeur! i like.

cheers 'dog.

mrs, i'm no tigger, but i was able to dunk a basketball (when i was considerably lighter), which for my height is no mean feat... :D

No wonder you like those blue and green straws so much... ;D Great jumps, great air, great guitar.

oh yeah! actually i never noticed that!

mind sharing the technicalities with the rest of us?
timer?
aperture?
you got timing, man, you got timing.

oh, and grievous jumping.
very very nice.

World class! I nominate you for the UK jump photography team.

been enjoying this series heaps : )))
I've attached the 'jump' tag to a few of my old shots - hope that's not cheating?

these are great again!

good height! lovin it you animal

thanks guys.

gael, i'll let you have the old jump shots :) i hope the trampoline ones are on there..!

'rose, you wanna know the tech-tech-technical information?
*drags pic onto desktop. right click. looks at properties*

18mm, f/3.5, 1/60sec

basically i just used the fastest shutter speed i could with this, and i used the remote control with the 2 second timer. i did quite a few tests to get the timing right - then i just kept jumping for about an hour until i got what i wanted. my fave is the bomb...
you're right though - its all about timing...

thanks nige.
got it.

can I just say again and again, as far as jumping goes, there is no deadline for me.

I am waiting for the perfect snow. It might not happen until February...

hey, there's no deadline for me either. i'll never stop jumping for joy, even though this little moblog shenanigan will end on sunday. come monday, i'll be jumping and i'll be shooting, but i just won't be posting...for a while, anyway :)

understood.
:)

Monday morning, come what may, I'm shooting!

Monday morning, come what may, I'm shooting!

hahaha...what mrs 540 said "does my bum look big in this shot...my fave :-)
keep on jumping....

well jumped - or is that well caught..

*waits for next day's shots

My knees have gone.

Brilliant! .... Nige you are 'the bomb' ..... *scratches head and wonders off off to sort out her 'Jumping for Nige' ....*

my knees are shaking too! i tell you what, try an hour of "catching the jump" and see how your gut feels the next day. tight!

thanks Maggie! looking forward to yours... perhaps a drawing if you can't face the frustration of the timing...hehe.

all good boarding training then!

3rdshot: rawk!

very impressive!

*twang!*
