People ask about the camera toss a lot. Mike Larson has some info and videos at his blog, but when I was shooting a wedding last weekend with Ray Pryor, I decided to do an impromptu little “class” on how to do it. Ray shot it with his killer 5d MkII, which did an amazing job in such low light.
Sweet job on the vid, Ray!
Here’s me and Ray in the rain!
Lake Michigan camera toss!
Here’s a shot from last weekend:
February 7, 2010 - 11:01 pm - Not familiar with the d700. Sorry!
February 7, 2010 - 12:30 pm - D700 I'm not having any luck setting up the bracketing settings so that the camera fires off consecutive shots after the 2 sec timer goes off. Any ideas suggestions?
January 18, 2010 - 9:23 pm - Dude, this is killer. I might have to go out and get a fisheye just to make this work (I just tried it with a 50mm on a D3 and the FoV was too small (and I'm not willing to toss it higher...ehhe) ) .... awesome.
January 6, 2010 - 9:16 pm - That is seriously cool!
December 29, 2009 - 8:08 am - I wanna do this so bad but I'm so scared...... Do you recommend trying it out at a Canon booth during a show?
November 24, 2009 - 7:25 pm - lol, you've gotta be quite brave to do this.... eh, one question about your comments... what would your friends say if you drop the cam?
October 23, 2009 - 11:29 am - Parabens! Uma otima manobra.
September 9, 2009 - 2:20 am - quality, I love them sitting down!

July 17, 2009 - 3:28 pm - wicked cool
July 17, 2009 - 1:47 pm - and don't use a camera strap!
July 17, 2009 - 1:12 pm - Not yet, Otto. Hahah. I have bruised my hand pretty good when the metal edge of the fisheye hits me on catching it. That's about it, though!
July 17, 2009 - 1:11 pm - Thanks for that video! You and Ray are rockstars. Seriously. So have you ever dropped your camera doing this?
July 17, 2009 - 1:08 pm - Very cool man. Thanks for the vid. :)
