Flying Hats

Day 15 word was hat...
Do you know how hard it is to throw hats in the air and time it right with your clicker? I now know it's practically impossible. Not real happy with this shot but after an hour of trying I'm posting IT...lol

Hats off to you!

Maybe a flash syncro with a slower shutter speed to get some movement?

[Sharon Lee]

You need an assistant to throw the hat :) nice collection here... that pink one is so cute

[Maggiemae]

I love hats and they are really good to throw in the air when you are excited - but not 10 of them! Well done!

@billabonga okay slower shutter speed is a good idea if there's even a next time ..... what is flash syncro?

[karenann]

Well done!! Beautiful capture and a fantastic comp!!

[Leslie]

@sugarmuser yes I do but husband working late and I didn't have the heart to have him toss hats after a long day at work.

The hats look they are hanging on an invisible hat rack! Great job!

[Leonie Mogridge]

Good try, I think you got the effect of hats in the air. I left mine on the hat rack!

[Bill McMiken]

Set you flash to manual so it fires whatever, that will freeze the hats but if you have your shutter speed around say 1/10 sec or lower even up to 1 sec it should blur some motion. On your point and shoot it was the "Night Portrait" function. Hope thats useful?

Fabulous. I wouldn't even attempt to do it. Very cool.

[Paula]

Great looking hats!

[Margaret Tryon]

I think you did great.

[katy]

FANTASTIC!! the technical difficulties alone make it an amazing shot!

[Shirley Banford]

Great result. Amazing shot.

A for effort - nice assortment of hats - it would have been hard enough trying to toss 1 up let alone 10!

Wow, this is a fantastic and so creative, Leslie. Fav
