Since its the leap day of the leap year, I thought Id take a leaping photo.

Its nice to have fun with photography

*Lighting*

On camera flash in PTTL mode, bounced off ceiling with another on camera flash at (that i'm holding) at 1/4 power pointing at my son.

*post*

Took a second (clean) shot without the chair I jumped from to remove it in post and de-fished.

Yep, and it's the deadpan expression on the tyke's face that really makes this one special. Nicely done!

Where's the pic from the second camera???

Nice job.

Great shot. I wish I'd thought of that! Geeze you caught some good air time on that one! K, now how did you catch that at the exact time your flash went off? Tell us your secret! LOL

Wireless mode; it's a wonderful thing.

Very creative and fun! Great shot.

The camera im holding was just a prop sadly, as I had no way to trigger both cameras (with flash's) at the same time.. so all I would have got from the jumping camera would have been a blurry mess or id have fired the flash then not had it in the shot

.

The k5 with the samyang fisheye had a sigma 530 dg supper in p-ttl mode, the samsung gx10 im holding had a metz af50 in preflash slave mode at 1/4 power, so when it seen the flash from the k5 it triggered

Glad you all like the photo.
