Beautiful levitation photos

If you're stuck for inspiration, you could try to re-create some of these amazing levitation photos: http://yowayowacamera.com/

There are so many amazing ones, but this one really caught my eye:

@ukdanae Thanks for sharing the link to the levitation blog...such whimsical work. I love Ariel's work here on 365 too. I can't help but wonder how these images are created. If I were to try this, I would end up with 100's of blurry shots of me jumping around like an idiot *grin.* I'm definitely going to have to TRY this though! Thank goodness for digital!!!

@dmortega you are right, Ariel's work is absolutely incredible!

These are absolutely awesome! However I don’t get it – she writes that she just jumps, but looking at some of the shots you’d think she would fall flat on her face when ‘landing’ again…?? Or am I not getting it?
