I'm teaching Grasshopper the arts of Super-Tai-Chi, or "Action at a Distance." He has now reached the stage where he can levitate at will. I took this pic when he was flying around the house looking for his Sponge Bob toy.

Notes:

  • This was the best of 20 shots. Yes, the boy was too happy to jump over and over (and over) again from the coffee table to the couch.

  • Our coffee table is one of the heaviest ones I've ever seen.

  • I set the flash on "2nd curtain" to fire at the end of the exposure. The 2nd curtain will give the impression of motion blur trailing, not leading, the movement. The flash was too bright, or the room was too dark, so the effect is barely visible.

  • Had to manually brighten up the image a bit with the GIMP.
