And... jump!

Posting this in Just For Fun because I'm well aware that it's not even close to being regarded as "art", but I also figure that someone might have some suggestions on how to pull it off better next time.

Things I'm already planning on "fixing" if I try something like this again:

• Wider angle on the lens so it doesn't cut her off when she lands
• Find a better way to support the camera than this (I had the body sitting on the floor and I was hand-holding the lens at the angle I wanted)
• Make sure no one's sitting behind her

But hey, despite all your (valid) points of critiqud, this is a funny photo!
Rear curtain flash is the trick. Right?

I actually think it's pretty neat. I like that ghost effect.
It's interesting.

Thanks, and yep - rear curtain flash. I'm sure she'll be more than happy to help me try again sometime so I can see if I can get rid of some of the distracting elements.
