discussion, gear, and photography journal
After recently reading about levitating photos on redbubble.com, I wanted to give it a try.
This afternoon, I pulled out my camera, tripod, and Plato remote shutter release, rounded up a couple of my kids, and had some fun in the back yard.

Let me know what you think of the "grungy" look I used in post-processing,

Nice trick, but you're still just photoshopping at the end of the day!'

I took this in the French Alps last year, with no stool, just a giant leap and some good timing:
