Behind The Lens

Location

Just outside of Cedar City Utah.

Time

I think it was early afternoon.

Lighting

I wasn't concerned with the lighting as much as getting these guys to jump at the same time. It was a sunny day with little clouds. No other lighting equipment was used.

Equipment

I shot this with my Nikon D810 and my Sigma 28-105 zoom lens. No other equipment was used.

Inspiration

I saw one guy do a jump like this and there was several of his friends around so I asked how many can do a standing flip. All six of them said they could which surprised me. This was the second jump and they were more together on this jump than the first. Not a single fall happened.

Editing

All processing on this shot was done in Lightroom. Basically just minor adjustments.

In my camera bag

I now carry a belt with bags on the belt to carry three lenses and my lens cleaning supplies. I also have a single sling to carry my Nikon D810 and if needed I have a double sling to carry both my Nikon D810 and my Nikon D800.

Feedback

This was a lucky shot as I didn't know these guys. I was willing to talk to them thou and I had my camera with me, which is about 90% of the time. Then syncing up everyone to jump at the same time.
