Fly

For Jo’ O’Briens Self portrait challenge… I couldnt get the link thing happening…:(

This was fun, I set up my camera on the pod, drew a cross in the sand, focused on it..then I did the self timer thing and ran and jumped trying to anticipate being caught in mid air….It took a while to get one that wasn’t too “on the way down” , if you will…:) I recommended it to everyone….Challenge anyone?

    Now this used to be your portrait, I believe, way back when, before now, it’s good to see it close up. Paul is right, it is very ‘free spirited’, and indeed, fun. Makes one smile.

    It’s great Melody – I agree with Paul it’s so fresh and free! You’re always thinking outside the square… or hoola hoop!

    Fabulous catch, Melody! Thanks for your comment on Shawn he’s a regular at medieval festivals, and I shot this one at the latest Abbey tournament at Caboolture, two weeks ago.

    Cool – your use of horizontals is impeccable… the way the background works behind you – great work again Melody… love the light and slight movement and expression. Great result as always!

    You did a wonderful job. I like that you add space above your head. It shows the open sky likes you are going to fly. Nice work.

    A bit late I know, but great shot! (if haven’t already) Try timer+multi shot = nice cheat. The timing is still hard though! Pic the best out of 5 or whatever your camera will offer. Again, great shot, looks like you could just swing on that sky hoop-piercing!
