Float Project

FLOAT Project-

It is a global challenge for photography students to use high speed photography to capture an instance of magical realism.

How and what to photograph?

·      Shoot outdoors on a sunny day.

·      Use a high shutter speed (above 1/350)

·      Shoot in burst mode.

Using high speed photography, we are able to witness people and/or objects caught in mid air in a moment that goes by too fast to be captured by the naked eye.   What can you manipulate to capture “Floating”- jumping, tossing something in the air (water, flour, toys, etc.)

Submit FIVE of your best attempts at this lesson.  Best ones will be submitted to the Float Contest.
