170/366: June 18 - Jump

GungFace has added a photo to the pool:

June 18, a busy weekend always calls for some creative Monday shots, but this particular attempt turned out to be a bit of a fail.

I decided to play around with some jump shots, putting the camera on the ground and trying to work out a way to leap over the camera, using the timer, and retaining good enough lighting of both me and the scenery behind me.

I turned out somewhat blurred, but I liked the movement of the shot and decided to stick with it anyway.

I have much to learn from photography - my skills are self taught and they are BASIC.

A perfect jump shot was really artfully done by my good friend Ryan, who did a 365 a few years back. You can check out his technically perfect version below.

I need to do some photography classes.
