You have a fantastic eye – we have to meet up sometime for your lunchtime wanders so I can watch your photography in action…

I love the jumping shot! I think it turned out very nicely indeed.

Thanks Ari! Does your camera have a “sports” mode? You might try using that, if you haven’t. It will use a faster shutter speed, that will help you freeze the jump action. Also, try jumping in super-bright light, like outside daylight, or maximize your inside light. Blurry jumps can be fun, tho, too — it shows the motion in a different way.

I wonder sometimes what I’ll do next year. Depending on the ~~day~~ hour, the answer is “Continue the project, of course! Project 730 here we come!” or “I’ll be so relieved to be done with the damn thing that I won’t pick up the camera for a month!!”

I’m always amazed by the lighting in the pictures… even in the first pic (which is my fave thus far), it’s sooo beautiful. I had no idea you processed so much on the jump shot… btw, how many takes did it take to get it that nice? Every jump shot I’ve tried has ended up blurry.

Congrats on making it to 150. Have you thought about next year?
