Stephanie oh Stephanie, she just makes me laugh! She is so open to trying a jump photo just about on any location. When I suggested she jump over the Cape Neddick Lighthouse, her smile out shined the beam from the lighthouse.

This was a real easy shot to produce. Stephanie jumped doing a scissor kick over the lighthouse in the distance. To stop the action and get a tack sharp image, I shot in FP mode at 1/3000 f/5.6. The SB-900 was set to 200mm and held by Kevin so it would be a little above Stephanie’s eyelevel when she was in the air. Received a couple of emails asking how we’re doing the focusing. The D3x is set to AAA which nails the focus without any thinking. Good thing, Stephanie just jumps and jumps and jumps. It’s great fun!
