Wherever and whatever activity you may have, it is so common and fun taking jump shots nowadays. The beach can be the perfect place for all genres of photography, just like the not so perfect jump shot sample above. Jump shots look fantastic when you are able to capture your subjects while they are all at the peak of their jump. In order to achieve this, follow the simple steps outlined below.
- Set your camera on shutter-priority mode and choose a shutter speed of 200-1000s of a second. If you can’t do this, you can set your ISO to ISO800 or higher for a fast shutter speed.
- Use the burst or continuous shot mode feature on your camera. This increases your chances of timing your shots perfectly. In this mode, you get to shoot images in succession with one press of your shutter.
- If you want to make the jump appear higher, position yourself as low as possible.
- Instruct your subjects to jump altogether at the count of three.
- When you’re all set to take that shot, simply push your shutter button halfway to focus on the subject. and then press it down completely as your subject jumps at the third count.
These tips should be pretty easy for noob such as myself. Take a look at the jump shots taken by Mr. Echel Darcen during our seminar in Pampanga.
