Capturing a Jump (Patreon)

While working with Tessa in the studio the other day I decided to have her jump into the air both from the floor and from a stool. She is not a trained dancer but does a great job of it. Eventually I hope to do this using flash and rear curtain flash to capture a motion into still shot. This was shot using a Godox 600 LED fitted with a large fresnel lens set for a wide spread of light. I shot with a Nikon Z8 shooting at 20fps. I could have shot at a higher frame rate but then it drops to shooting jpgs and I really prefer raw images. I was shooting with the Nikon 50mm f/1.2 closed to f/3.5 hoping for enough depth of field to have most in focus. Shutter speed was //640 second at iso 400. I was pleased with the results and will probably do some more variations soon.
