This Spirit Squad performed at halftime of one of the games for the MLK Basketball tournament at Mesa Community College on Saturday. They all did a simultaneous back flip and I managed to catch the whole lot of them in midair.
Two Sunpak 383's at 1/4 power to camera left mounted on conduit.
This guy was incredible, he was so acrobatic, I enjoyed it so much. However my camera disagreed because it was hard to get a sharp photo, I felt like this one was the best I was going to get. However when I pulled it in I saw that people in the background were also a little sharp. I felt that since this was supposed to be stop motion I would make it into one. I desaturated everything but the vest, just to give it a cool look since isolated color photography is one of my favorites. I then went with a radial blur, I had to take it down far (I believe a 4) in order to not lose the faces captivated by the flip too much. Last I went back with a highlighter tool and lit up the midtones and highlights to help emphasize that there is more people watching than it looks like, that could be missed due to the darkness of the shadows. I decided to keep him focalized and act as a center point for the blur. Enjoy!
...z lukášova auta=)To když jednou přijel na ICF "svym autem" (škodovka, která se asi hodila víc na vrakoviště než na silnici, a kterou mu někdo dal na zkoušku, že by mu jí kdyžtak "prodal" jen za 800, který stojí přepsání v katastru) Ale stav auta mi nevadil, spíš mi udělal fakt radost, protože většina majitelů pěknejch novejch aut(i když jsou to kamarádi) mi bez problému neodkejve to, že mužu skákat ze střechy jejich auta backflipy=) Bohužel foták s malou čočkou a špatnym bleskem, takže jediný co se podařilo je tahle fotka, ze který by asi nikdo nepoznal že jde o backflip, kdyby to nad ní nebylo napsaný...
Blured backflip motion
...from Lukas car=) Once he came to ICF in his "own car" (old škoda, which I think would be more suitable to be on car cemetery then on the road. Someone offered this car to him for only 800czk, which you have to pay to overwrite owner in register).But condition of this car didnt obstruct mebut conversely I was glad for it, because most of car owners in my surrounding with their nice new cars a usually dont let me to jump backflip form the roof of their cars.Unfortunately we had just small digital camera with bad flashlight, so this is the best quality photo we managed to take...Can you recognize that it is backflip?

These performers, or athletes, you might say, are from Wushu West. We were told by the MC that this sport/art of wushu will be a demonstration event at the Beijing Olympics and that two of their members (one of whom might be the flying upside-down gentleman) will be participating.
If I'm not mistaken, this is the first time Albany has had a Chinese New Year parade. This scene took place after the parade.
Not into jumping off a bridge, with a cord tied to your feet, into a gorge full of roaring water?
Perhaps you might find the Bungy Trampoline (opened in 2011), more your style.
Two sets of bungy cords attached to a harness, in which the jumper is secured, enhance the traditional trampoline experience and provide a ride that defies gravity and serves up a substantial dose of adrenalin.
Jumpers can reach heights that are impossible to attain on a trampoline alone, but still remain safe and secure in an adjustable, purpose built harness.
You can even experiment with acrobatic movements such as back flips and spread eagles or simply test yourself to jump as high as you possibly can.
The Bungy Trampoline is open to anyone who is over the age of two (no kidding) and weighs between 22 lbs (10kg) and 198 lbs (90kg).
You can bounce up to four people at a time, each on their own separate trampoline and jumpers can reach up to 26 feet (8m) in height.
NOTE: I have uploaded this as a whole set (37 pics) all at once, for obvious reasons. Run this in slideshow after reading the background comments on the SET page.

"Defying the Forces"
I took this picture of my friend Mac last summer doing a gainer off of a trampoline and into a pool. Here he demonstrates Newton’s Laws of Motion. A gainer is when you jump forward and then do a back-flip so that you are counter-acting your forward momentum. Mac jumps forward so that his body is moving in that direction and then bends his back to create torque in the opposite direction. According to Newton’s second law, his acceleration is equal to the amount of force he used to push him off of the trampoline divided by his mass. He applies Newton’s first law to this acrobatic move when he begins to rotate backwards. Newton’s first law explains that an object in motion will remain in motion unless acted upon by an outside force. In this case, Mac is the outside force as uses his muscles to rotate himself backwards.
To sem takhle jednou ráno normálně vstal, nasnídal se a vyrazil na zastávku čekat na autobus.No a jak sem se tak nudil tak sem koukal kolem a vidim, že jeden týpek(asi taky šekal na autobus) čte noviny...no a hned na titulní stránce( na tý která byla natočená ke mně) vidim obrovskou fotku týhle mimino sochy a u toho nápis, že to je ted nově na Kampě...Samozřejmě hned první věc co mně napadla bylo, že by to mohla bejt fakt sranda jít z těch soch skákat..Jako obvykle nebylo od super nápadu daleko k činům a tohle je první fotka=)

Humpback Whale Breaching
Personal Note: Having moved several years ago to the Monterey Bay Area in Northern California, I decided to teach myself wildlife photography and concentrate on Marine Mammals of the Monterey Bay, which was self-published as a photo essay book. The Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary is one of the most abundant marine sanctuaries in the World with extensive academic research facilities studying its inhabitants and health.
One of the species I have concentrated my efforts on has been the highly intelligent and entertaining Humpback Whale. For two years I am been trying to capture them breaching out of the water. With two flips of their flukes they can propel 35 to 50 tons of mammal completely out of the water! Prior to July 6, 2015 I have only been able to photograph them breaching from a distance.
Over the next two weeks I will be posting a series of images from this incredible experience.
Here are some of the photographic issues:
•They never stop moving, even when they place half of their brain on "rest" while the other half navigates for them. When that half has enough rest, the other half takes over.
•Your Whale Boat is moving about 80% of the time. If the Bay is choppy that means it is rocking back and forth as it propels itself forward.
•Other Whale Boats are positioned around the best sites and can ruin your shot.
•We can tell when a breaching Humpback is going to dive. What we cannot tell is if they are going to keep breaching or just feed on the bottom?
•Normally they breach once or twice and stop. The Blue Ocean Whale Watch boat captain has seen Humpbacks breach as many as 70 times. They are based in Moss Landing and I highly recommend them. You can book a trip at: blueoceanwhalewatch.com/contact.
•Therefore, you do not know how long they are going to stay under the water (5-7 mins. is normal) or WHERE OR WHEN THEY ARE GOING TO COME UP, which is always in a different place.
•I keep my camera under my chin and watch over the top of the lens. Once they start to breach, you have 3-5 seconds to find them in your viewfinder and squeeze off a series of shots. If they are less than 1/3rd of my viewfinder I know they are too far away.
•On the way back to port, three different whales did a "Lunge Feed" in unison just like in the Olympic synchronized swimming events. It was extraordinary, but It took us all by surprise and I could not even raise my camera in time.
•We all know whales communicate with each other, but this was an extraordinary example. The three whales dove together, communicated with each other and then raced to the surface side by side with their mouths wide open! They then captured the sardines, anchovies and or krill, filtered out the water, swallowed and dove again. They can take in enormous amounts of water (up to 70% of their body weight) filter out the fish and krill and eject the water.
•It is hard to describe, but three huge whales surfacing with their mouths open, side-by-side, perfectly in unison takes your breath away. I literally snapped my sunglasses in half during the whole breaching experience, but it was a small price to pay. If anyone had gotten a sharp image of these three whales, it would have been a cover story.

HUMPBACK WHALE: Megaptera novaeangliae (meaning of scientific name: (Large-Winged of New England)
BEHAVIOR: Acrobatic humpbacks regularly breach (jump out of the water), stroke each other, and slap the water with their flippers and flukes. Scientists believe these activities are forms of communication because they create a great deal of noise, which can be heard at long distances under water. Humpbacks swim in groups or pods of up to a dozen at calving grounds, and in smaller groups of three to four during migration. Unlike other baleen whales, they can often be seen feeding cooperatively.
DESCRIPTION: The humpback whale was given its common name because of the shape of its dorsal (back) fin and the way it looks when the animal is diving. Its scientific name, Megaptera, means, "large-winged" and refers to its long, white, wing-like flippers that are often as long as one-third of the animal's body length. Humpbacks are gray or black, except for the flippers, parts of the chest and belly, and sometimes the underside of the tail flukes. Each whale has its own unique pattern on the underside of its tail flukes, which can be used like "fingerprints" to identify individual whales. Unique to humpbacks are wartlike round protuberances (bumps or tubricales) that occur on the head forward of the blowhole and on the edges of the flippers. Humpbacks are baleen whales that have 14 to 35 long throat pleats that expand when the whale takes in water while feeding.
Northern Hemisphere humpbacks reach an average length of 49 to 52 feet (15-16 m), and southern humpbacks reach 60 feet (18 m). Females are generally larger than the males. The average weight for a mature adult is 35 to 50 tons.
RANGE/HABITAT: Humpbacks are found in all oceans to the edges of polar ice, and follow definite migration paths from their summer feeding grounds to warmer waters in the winter. In the North Pacific, where their populations reach 15,000, humpbacks feed in the summer along the coast from California to Alaska. In the winter, they migrate to breeding grounds off of Hawaii, Mexico, Costa Rica, and Japan. The population in California migrates to Mexico and Costa Rica, whereas the Alaskan population migrates to Hawaii.
In feeding, they use baleen plates to strain other small fish such as krill or herring, and plankton out of the water. Their 270-to-400 baleen plates are dark and each is about two and a half feet long. Humpbacks use several different feeding methods. While "lunge feeding," they plow through concentrated areas of food with their huge mouths open, swelling with large quantities of food and water. During "bubble net feeding," which is unique to humpback whales, one or several whales blow a ring of bubbles from their blowholes that encircle a school of krill or fish. The whales then swim through the "net" with their mouths agape, taking in large amounts of food.
Humpbacks are best known for their haunting vocalizations or "singing." They have a rich repertoire that covers many octaves and includes frequencies beyond the threshold of human hearing. These songs, apparently sung by males, last as long as 20 minutes, after which they are repeated, often with slight changes. Each year, the song undergoes changes from the year before, but all males sing the same song. When a whale is singing, it floats suspended in the water, head down and relatively motionless. Behavior such as dominance, aggression, and mate attraction may be related to singing.
MATING AND BREEDING: Females give birth every two or more years. Pregnancies last for 12 months. The calves nurse for eight to eleven months. When weaned, the calves are 24-27 feet (8-9 m) long.
STATUS: Humpbacks are among the most endangered whales and less than 10% of their original population remains. However, in recent years, humpbacks have been observed more and more frequently feeding along the California coast. Nearly 1400 humpbacks feed along the California Coast in the summer and fall. The current word population is estimated between 35-40,000.
The Marine Mammal Center has helped several humpback whales over the years. One famous patient was Humphrey the humpback, who we helped twice. First in 1985, he swam up the Sacramento River, and then in 1990 he was stuck on a mudflat in San Francisco Bay. Both times, we successfully got him back out into ocean. In 2007, a mother and calf pair called Delta and Dawn, received world-wide attention as they swam 75 miles inland up the Sacramento River (going farther than Humphrey). Both had severe wounds from a ship strike. After antibiotics were administered to these free-swimming whales, a first in marine mammal history mom and calf returned to the ocean.

On the beach below the resort on Apo Island, right in front of the dive shop, a bunch of children from the village were doing acrobatic back-flips in the sand. When they saw that I was photographing them, they offered to pose.
I showed them I could take mini-movies of their tricks, which drove them absolutely wild. You can see the insanity that resulted by clicking here.

This picture was taken in 2000 just before she went to UC Davis Vet hospital for surgery to remove a large benign tumor in her chest. The tumor popped out like a plum and she led a full life for 7 more years. She lived two more active years after being diagnosed with liver failure since we were so diligent with giving her the subcutanous fluids. We did all we could for her and would do it again.
We will miss her larger than life presence everywhere in the house. She had more personality than most humans I've met and had such intelligence I expected her to understand everything I said to her. She leaves a cat shaped hole in our hearts.
