Yann's jumping tips

You too can take a great jumping pic! Follow Yann's simple advice

Yann Ropars (our director of business development) is a photographic star when it comes to taking pictures of people jumping. You too can take great jumping photos. Just follow Yann's advice:

Content of the image: Scenery is very important. Look for an area that has nice or unsual scenery to take the photo. 50% of the picture is about the background and context ... 50% is about the subject (jumping people).

How to take the picture: Ask other people to jump and take the picture yourself, or put the camera in self-timer mode so you can jump, too. (Since most cameras don't support multi-image burst mode with the self-timer, it can take several attempts to get a good shot.)

Will jump for food

Posted by YourRunning on 1/30/2007

Enthusiast Groupies Neal Young (editorial and community manager) and Yann Ropars (director of business development) went to Salt Lake City last weekend to work the big Outdoor Retailer show. But they came back with this photo, so those of us stuck back at snowbound headquarters in Boulder, Colorado, suspect they were actually having fun!

Backstory: Yann for years has been taking pictures of people jumping up. (We hired him anyway.) Warning: If you meet Yann and he's got his camera, he may make you jump. Here's a hint to looking impressive when jumping for Yann: Bend your legs so it looks like you're jumping higher than you actually are. :)

Besides being a talented jumper, Neal (left in photo) is a top-notch video guy. He promises to post a bunch of running-related video he shot at Outdoor Retailer shortly. Stay tuned.
