QUIZ: Where's David and Anna? All correct answers win an online travel photography course!





WHERE’S DAVID AND ANNA?

Many of you have seen this type of signature shot of us jumping in the air in quite recognizable world locations if you attended one of our photography classes, public speeches, cruise ship lectures or seen a previous Blog post. How did we get this photo?

We set up our camera for a fast shutter speed of a 1/1000th of a sec or faster (or in Sports Mode); in low light we increased the ISO to get the fast shutter speed; and used continuous (or burst) mode for multiple photos with one press of the shutter. Using a wide angle (or zoom out) lens setting to capture us and the background we hand our camera to someone and say “press the shutter on the count of 3 and keep it pressed”. We then position ourselves with the recognizable background and David counts while we jump on 2 and jump several times. The result is about 10 to 40 photos and we simply select the one where we have jumped the highest later.

For fun we streamed all the consecutive shots from other recognizable locations and posted them in a 2 minute YouTube video “The Jump”
