There are jumpers and there are JUMPERS. These people on these shots are PRO-JUMPERS! Can you spot the expert? Our friend Patrick Ballesteros (patty cakes) is well known for his verticals. Notice the vertical, his expression, and his poses. When it comes to taking jump shots, I am a newbie. Apparently there is a recipe that one must follow for a successful jump shot pictures. Here it is:
- Count 1,2
- Tallest person with the most vertical jumps at 2.5 (so they can hang longer)
- Shortest person with the least vertical jumps at 2.9 (so they look like they are hanging long)
- Count 3
- Press the button and take the shot
After many trials, I finally nailed these shots. Pat adds that one needs to watch the display for everyone to be up in the air before the picture is taken. So its not all counting. Easier said than done. But I am darn well proud of these shots I took at various sites during our Peru 08 trip. Thanks Pat!
