I was playing with my the "action" feature on my camera. I had my daughter jump up and down while the camera took a sequence of shots. I chose this photo to post because it looks like she is levitating in the air. I thought it was such a cool shot. The background in the original photo was actually sharply focused but I didn't like that it didn't really show her with her body floating. I blurred the background using the lasso technique. When I have the time, I'll post the tutorial. . .maybe sometime this week! Although this shot was taken with my daughter actually up in the air, with Photoshop you could probably have a photo like this without the person actually up in the air when the original shot was taken. Now a days, you don't know what shots are actually real or edited.
