Assignment: "Jump!" Apr 15-Apr 29

[Saralonde]

This week's assignment? "Jump!" It's become a popular style of portraits lately with bridal parities and families jumping all over the place, but it can be interpreted in a new way. How creative can you be to make your picture stand out? Try to keep in mind some of the lessons you have learned with lighting and composition.

Wish I could offer a better example, but a bout with back pain with week left me unwilling and unable to accomplish much , so here's an old one:


As always, the rules...Please note the change in closing time.

Just a note to new posters: DO NOT start a new thread for your post. Please just hit the reply button at the bottom of any current post and put your image there.

1. Your image you submit should be taken between the 15th of April and the 29th of April. Each week as an assignment closes on the Wednesday, it will be AUTOMATICALLY deemed *CLOSED* after 8am GMT ( 3am EST) and any posts after that time will not be eligible for the assignment competition. Don't wait until the last minute to post!

2. Your post must include "Assignment: Jump!" (to show your permission to count it for the contest) and the date the picture was taken (to show that it is a valid entry).

3. EXIF data should be intact. It helps if you can include the main points (including camera, lens, date taken, ISO, shutter speed and aperture) in the text of your message.

4. Only one entry per member (if you can't restrain yourself until the end of the first week you can post two or three separate pictures but your entry should be in a separate post and the only marked with the text above).

5. Remember the cross-site image size limit (800px on the longest side).

6. If the image does not exist in post at the end of the contest, it is disqualified. If you modify anything on flickr and re-save the image then the link is broken and the message needs edited to link the picture again before it will be included in the contest.
For everyone, please do not repeat other people's photos by quoting them until the contest is over. If you want to comment on or discuss an entry you can use a link to it (or just delete the picture from the quoted text).

7. If you are looking for the winners of the mini-contest, please check the front page of the DPS blog Saturday late afternoon (EST) and here.

Our next challenge? "Your Evening". How do you spend your time, what does this time of day mean to you, what do you see? Since this is pretty wide open topic, you need to use a little thought to make your image stand out.
