Thanks to the super awesome Mike Larson for the inspiration and demonstration of the camera toss. I had the morning off so i decided to try it out. First in the bedroom, then outside for greater heights! A broken 6 year old rebelXT later (i mainly used my 5d throughout the tossing though) i had a few shots that were pretty decent for my first attempt!
Hints? Well, i’d love to know a lot of the aperture, shutter speed, and throwing techniques that mike uses. I myself used an aperture of 5.0. I wish i had an L series lens so i could make the aperture larger and make a super fast shutter speed. I had to sacrifice some ISO, but (michael scott voice) its allll goood! You HAVE to use auto bracketing. My first attempts were without and i took one half decent photo every 10 really bad photos.
The first attempt in my bedroom. Probably my favorite one that came out.
Reaching new heights outside.
I love this image because of the shadows.
Make sure you catch it!!
Think these are somewhat cool? Then you HAVE to check out Mike Larson. He is killer at these!
