Another nail biter… 30 minutes before day 43 🙂
This idea came out of nowhere; I wanted something simple to set up, something that can be done in 10 minutes or so.  This was done by holding the shoes and letting it fall on that green chair and while it’s on air, taking the shot and that’s how it came up. Me and my trusty assistant made around 10 frames and this come out to my liking 🙂
And, no they are not my shoes. My shoes will be horribly big and might bounced back and hit the camera lens… so I skipped it. Safety first! Props to the shoe owner for letting me shoot it 🙂
Gear: Canon 7D + Tokina 11-16
