It’s a term, I swear. While getting my bachelors in photography I was more than a little obsessed, not just with taking photos, but with studying the history of photography. I almost went to grad school to get my master’s in the history of photography—but really? What do you do with that? So now here I am, full of knowledge of photographers in the past and ready to share. What does that have to do with jumpology?
1. The lower you go, the higher they will look! If you shoot from a lower angle, it will appear as though there is more space between the subject and the ground. So get down low, sit or squat near the ground, and shoot up at your subject if you want the appearance of height.
2. Remind your subjects to relax their faces. A lot of times when people are jumping, they tighten their faces at the same time. It’s a simple thing, but it makes a big difference. If that doesn’t work, make them laugh. Laughing and jumping gives a carefree feel to the image.
3.Instead of jumping straight up and down, have your subjects try creating shapes with their bodies. It will appear as if they are floating rather then jumping.
4. Use the continuous burst mode on your camera so that you can take several images while holding the shutter button down. That way you can catch the entire jump, from takeoff to landing, and you won’t miss that perfect moment when they are at the top of their jump.
5. I find it helps to have the subjects count to themselves, rather than having me count. That way they feel in control and are much more relaxed. It’s a simple one, two, three. Then we are both prepared.
7. If you are in auto or on the running man setting and you notice your subject is blurred, you need to move to a brighter area of light. It will really help to shoot the jumping images outdoors where there is a lot of light so that you, or your camera, will have the ability to choose those faster shutter speeds I was talking about.
8. For all those cell phone users out there, it will help you to know that your cell phone doesn’t take the photograph when you push the button/icon on the screen; it actually takes it when you let go. So when you are trying to shoot action with a cell phone, pre-focus on the area your subjects will be when they jump by tapping on the screen, then hold down the shutter icon and don’t release it until the instant before they are right where you want them to be. There won’t be as long a pause between triggering the camera and actually taking the photo if you shoot with this tip.
9. If you want to take a jumping selfie, try using a remote. Trust me on this one! You don’t want to be running back and forth between your camera/phone and your jumping spot, plus jumping! Elsie found a remote she loves here.

I’d love to win the giveaway. I’ve been really wanting to learn what my DSLR can really do.
I desperately need to learn how to use my DSLR! I am going on my first cross-country business trip to Portland in a few weeks and can’t wait to give it a go! I could really use the class!
I’d love to take the DSLR class!
Thanks for the tips on taking jumping pictures & for the chance to win a spot in the DSLR class, that would be awesome 🙂
Add jumpology into my #yearwithoutfear goal of mastering my camera! (As soon as I’m not stuck in bed sick!)
You say jump…I say how high. Love this article!
Awe, I love this! I have noticed this trend picking up more and more. I have even tried it myself with my daughters but maybe with these tips, I can get even better at it. Thanks for sharing! 🙂
So fun! Right now, the only subject I have to practice on is my 2-year-old daughter– and that should be a lot of fun! (and you’ve reminded me that I really need to get a remote for my camera…)
Love all of this!!! I would LOVE to attend that workshop!
Oh I’d love to take your class! When I saw there were videos with it I got really excited!

I love jumping photos! Especially with umbrellas. They are so whimsical to me. I received my DSLR for Christmas and have definitely been struggling to get a handle on things. I would love to get into that DSLR workshop!
wow, I just got my first dslr and would love a spot in this class!
This class looks great! I have a Sony EVIL camera and not a DSLR, because I wanted a stepping stone camera. Do you think this class would still be helpful to me?
I read the article hoping for some mention of preferred clothing. My thought was certain dresses or ruffle items might get in one’s face as they jump. Your ladies in the photos don’t seem to have that problem! Thoughts?
Just bought my first DSLR a few days ago. SO excited to start shooting. Teach me your ways!!!!!!!
For my 21st birthday, I was given my first DSLR camera. I’m hoping to learn more about how to use the camera so that I can take better photos of my day-to-day life and my baking!
Would sure love to win a spot! I’ve had my DSLR now for 7 years and still haven’t taken it off auto! 🙁 Thanks for the chance!
I would love to take the DSLR class!!
Just bought my first DSLR a few days ago. Can’t wait to start shooting! Teach me your ways!!!!
I would love to take your class! I have been wanting to learn more about my camera for ages!! 🙂
I would love to win a spot! My husband and I will be purchasing a DSLR in a few days. We know nothing about how to use one. So the class would be a huge help!
Does this comment jump out at you? 🙂 I would love to take your course, I just cannot afford it right now…please pick me!
I desperately need to learn how to use my DSLR! I would love a chance to win this 🙂
I would love love love to take Candice’s DSLR class!
Interesting post! I am totally guilty of jumping in photos…my poses are so awkward, jumping just seems more natural. Plus, it’s fun!

I would love to learn my DSLR! And awesome photos, Candice!
Great tips and amazing photos too! I hope I’ll be able to attend Candice’s workshop! i’d love to learn more and practice my skills on my DSLR. 🙂
I love that this is a real thing! My friend and I were lucky enough to get a pretty decent jump shot first time in front of the Ontario sign when we visited.
The first photography is my favourite.
I love taking pictures and I would love to learn with Candice so I register !
I would love to participate in the workshop, really looking forward to improving my photography skills 🙂

Have a camera, have a blog, working desperately on photography skills! Thanks for the post Candace.
Love jumping photos! I just got my first DSLR and would love to learn how to use this thing to its best ability! I’m clueless…
Yes! Perfect giveaway! I am SO badly in need of that class!
Thank-you for imparting such a practical approach and dissolving the notion that a good jumping shot has to be about luck for the beginner.
I got a dslr for Christmas to take better pictures of my boys & I’d love to learn how to use it better!
I’d love to enter! I never win anything!! <3
These are some great tips! I have always wanted to try those, but not always succeeded. I hope I can learn more if I win the free class!
I’d jump for joy if i won 🙂
I’d love to take the class! It look so fun and informative!
I’m actually a little insecure about my photography (which is strange for me – because I LOVE to take pictures)because I don’t feel confident using my DSLR. I would be so thrilled to take this class and (finally) learn all about it! Thanks for this opportunity 🙂
I’ve already registered and now I’m even MORE excited! This post was so fun and informative, I know the class is a worthy investment 🙂
i would LOVE to take her class! desperately need help learning how to use my dslr.
I’d love to win! My new husband and I recently invested in a DSLR camera- and we need a some help! 🙂

I love the tips!!!
I would love to win this:)))
Really interested in everything you are doing with your workshops! Definitely want to be entered.
Fantastic tips, Candice! Thanks for sharing them! 🙂
Amazing tips explained in totally simple language. I would really love to learn operate my DSLR properly from Candice.
Thanks a bunch!
I have a DSLR and took many photography classes, but I always tend to learn about the same things. I would love to learn more about using my camera!
These are absolutely fantastic tips Candice. Thank you!

I’m definitely going to try Jumpology … thanx for the tips Candice 😉 My Nikon and I still have alot to work on , I would LOVE to take this workshop *** Fingers crossed***
XOXO,

A class with a fellow San Antonio transplant sounds like fun! I shoot mostly on Aperture setting and would love to take it to the next level, count me in 😉
I have been dying to sign up for the course ever since it was announced! It sounds like it will be fantastic!
xo
Thanks for the tips–I had no idea iPhones took photos when you release the button. So helpful! Would love to take the photography class, as I have a dSLR I don’t use nearly enough.
I’d love to win the giveway! Too poor of a college student to buy it 🙁
I love jumping pics, and boy, are there a lot where I fail miserably. Thanks for the tips, gonna try harder next time.
The workshop sounds fun.
I love the idea of adding objects that may have helped the subject “take flight”! I already signed up… I couldn’t risk the chance of NOT getting a spot in this course! 🙂 Thank you for offering this class Candice! I am very excited!!
I’m one of those people who end up with an awkward face when they jump. All of these model’s faces look perfect.
Tip 4 is my favourite when I try to capture a quick movement. There is usually one show in there that is a keeper.
I used to use my camera all the time! Having a refresher class would get me back out there. What a great idea!
These tips are great and I look forward to trying them. I’m so glad you are offering a DSLR class, I desperately need to learn to take mine off of auto!
I used to use my camera all the time! Having a refresher course would get me back out there. What a great idea!
I am from the UK and just starting to get my blog off the ground. This is such a pivotal point in my life – I have been in a job I hate for too long and am starting to retake control of my life. This class would give my journey such a boost.

I would love the opportunity to take this class. I need to learn more about my camera and lighting so I may take better product photos. Thank you for offering this giveaway.
I got a DSLR for taking kid pictures but really don’t go past auto. help!
So fun! I love jumping photos. For my husband and my engagement shoot we tried so hard to get both of us “leprechaun” kicking/jumping at the same time… It took about 30 tries! Lol!
I would love to learn how to use my husbands Canon EOS 5D…. it would make going to take photos with him much more enjoyable if I too new what in the heck I was doing. He has tried to explain it to me, but I have yet to understand. Maybe a different teacher would help.
Thanks,
Would love to be a part of the class!
I am always looking for ways to learn more about photography! Candice’s work is lovely and her experience is wonderful. She would be a great instructor.
I would love to win that giveaway!
Oh I would love to win a place on the course, please enter me.
Many thanks
I’ve had my DSLR for almost 6 months. I just started using manuel mode & love it SO! I’m excited to learn & grow with photography. ABM is SO helpful! I’m a total fan and have read all your posts under photography, blogging, and hair. I’d be so blessed by taking Candice’s class! Thankyou for this opportunity<3
xoxo,
Madi Elizabeth
Wow, I would love to win this! Thanks for the great giveaway!! 🙂
Oooh! Love the idea of making shapes! And of course getting a free spot in the course would be excellent, too.
Love those tips, especially about taking it from a lower vantage point! Please enter me. I LOVE PHOTOS!!!
Always something new to learn about your camera!:)
love these tips! and would love to be able to take the DSLR class 🙂
I would love to learn more about my DSLR.
Oh my gosh, I would LOVE to be able to do this workshop! I bought my first DSLR a few months ago, but my knowledge is super limited and I know I’m only using like 2% of my camera’s capabilities.
Awesome advice! I didn’t realize our phones take the picture when the button is released; knowing that alone will help a lot. I love these Tips posts!
I upgraded my camera, but I didn’t upgrade my know-how! Oops.
Great tips! Reminds of The Office when they all tried to do a jumping photo as a group and totally failed 🙂 I would love a spot in the class as I’ve continually upgraded over the years to nicer cameras hoping I could “get away” with not knowing how to use it properly. I know that if I scroll the dial thing it moves the icon toward the middle for balanced light. So at least I’m working in “M” mode!!! Haha. Now that we live abroad it would be great to capture our new memories as a newly married couple with focused, well lit photos. Cheers ABM team!!
I love jumping photos!! It’s always a fun challenge!
And I’d love to get the giveaway, there’s always something new to learn!
Dear Beautiful Mess Crew,
Have I told you that I love you?
I purchased a DLSR and have been wanting to take a class!
But unfortunately, I have been a lazy a*s.
I would love the chance to learn something new,
and take some neat jumping photos too!
-Kate the girl who always arrives late.
I am still trying to figure out how to make my photography the most impactful for my blog. This class would be a huge help! Fingers crossed and thank you!
XO Holly @ http://www.createbakecelebrate.com
I would love to win this giveaway!! My photography “business” is actually turning into a business (ahh!). I’m constantly looking to get better so I can eventually do it full time. A Beautiful Mess never fails inspire me!
Love jump shots! A great wait to really capture someone’s personality 🙂 That DSLR class would be AWESOME!
Oh, I’m so excited you’re doing a giveaway. I got very excited when I heard about the class, but definitely cannot afford it right now that I went back to school to be a preschool teacher. When I bought the photo idea book I was planning on using it to teach myself, going through it like a workbook, but I realized my skill level isn’t even high enough for that and I’m kind of at stuck in a rut. Oh, I hope I get to take your class 🙂 🙂
Thank you for the jumpology tips! I always tend to snap the (self)portrait when I’m eaither just about to jump or just landing! Oops!
Besides the fact that this workshop is happening around my birthday, this is the perfect class for me! I am a first year acupuncture student in Austin, TX, with big dreams to take my skills on the road to learn about healing practices around the globe. This workshop will be an immensely helpful tool, and will enable me to document my journey. Thank you for creating this opportunity!
I’ve been searching for an online class to teach me how to use my DSLR! Fingers crossed 🙂
I really adore these tips! I’ve had some trouble with my jumping shots.
Fabulous tips for jumpology – I love that word! I need to get out and try it!
I’d love to take part in the workshop. I haven’t taken a single picture with my DSLR this year. It’s terrible. Thanks so much for the inspiration!
I too, would love to take a class that helps learn more about my camera! I have been looking for classes online lately. I live in a small town in Colorado, which is worth the seclusion from the real world, but makes it hard to figure out how to further educate myself in the art realm sometimes.
Jumpology!
Love it.
I just purchased my first DSLR last week. I need to know how to use it.
Great tips! I can’t wait to try them. And I would love to be lucky enough to win a spot in the class!
Awesome post…definitely bookmarking this one for later! Thanks for sharing!
Jumpology!

Would love the chance to attend Candice’s workshop, as I would love to turn the knob off of auto for a change! Thank you for the chance!
LOVE these tips!
Love these tips! I think I will try them out with my kids soon!

Love your photos and I’d be SO STOKED to take the class!
Great tips! I’ve had my DSLR for a little over a year and it has spent way too much time in it’s case. Hoping to learn some stuff this spring
The tip about cell phone cameras releasing the shutter when you let go of the button was great, totally didn’t know that but it explains a lot! Thank you!
awesome photos! i just purchased a dslr at the end of last year & would love to take this class.
Wowser! Love the jumping photos here! My two young boys are really into jumping – all over the living room! I’m going to try some of these tips you gave us. I love photography – it would be amazing to win a spot in the class. Thanks!
I don’t have the money to sign up for the class myself, or I would! I have had a DSLR camera sitting in my closet for 2 years and I have no clue how to work it. HELP!
I seem to have completely lost any inspiration to use my camera. So much so that the only pictures I have of our beautiful second son are taken with my phone. Help!!!
I very much need this class!
Love Candice and her photos and am so happy she is teaching classes again! Would love to win and take better photos!
Perfect tips and I really like pics like that.

I’d love to make this an assignment for my highschool photojournalism students! And a chance to win a spot in the DSLR class would be great too for teaching my students new skills. 🙂
I love this post! Such great tips. I was just trying to take some jump shots and they didn’t turn out so great. Now I have some great guide lines! The dslr class sounds awesome!
This would be amazing! I inherited a beautiful DSLR and feel super awkward when I try to use it in public because everyone expects me to know what I’m doing!
So helpful! Thanks for sharing Candice…It’s so fun to capture someone in such ways! Would love to learn more!
Would love to take Candice’s class!
I have a Canon DSLR and I would love to learn how to use it, since it was a gift from a very special person. I would photograph my life, my friends, and of course, jumping scenes. Learning to take nice pictures would definitely improve my journals and scrapbooks.
OH SNAP! I’d really love to take this class! I’m admiring all of your beautiful photos and I’d love to learn more about my camera and getting better at taking pics! 🙂
I would LOVE to win this giveaway!! I need to learn how to properly learn to use my DSLR before my baby comes in August. I want to get the best shots of my baby boy!

Oh my gosh! I’ve been on a waiting list for two years to get into the photography department in school and I would love to get a jump start with your DSLR class!
Oh I would jump for joy!
I would love the chance to learn how to use my DSLR… as a painter i have never been able to grasp photography, or afford to have someone teach me!
I totally love this article. Looking forward to more of this kind. I would also like to participate in the DSLR class 😉
I love your site, especially when you talk photos and photography! It would be awesome to win a spot in the DSLR training!

I watched the promo video for Candice’s workshop and read all about it the day the shop opened up online, and was immediately excited. I was given a DSLR camera for Christmas and this class could really help me learn how to use it!!
this would be such an amazing giveaway to win! thanks for sharing & GREAT tips.
This post captured my attention INSTANTLY. These photos and the their subjects are amazing. Oh my goodness. And their jumping abilities! Haha. They all made me smile. I would LOVE to learn how to do this. The steps Candice provided really gave me a great start <3 Thank you ^_^

I would LOVE to win a spot in the class.
I was so inspired by your blog way back from the start that I got a DSLR in 2009 to take better pictures like the ones featured here. I use it all the time, but most of the features on my camera are still foreign to me! Please pick me!
I’d love to take the DSLR class! Great tips and thanks for sharing.
Oh my gosh, my favorite parts of any session is when I can get my clients to loosen up and get crazy and goofy. I had a shot where my client bent her body so awesomely. That she looked like she was floating in the air.
I’d love to see where my photography could go if I won a spot in your DSLR workshop. 🙂
I would totally JUMP for joy if I won a spot in that class and then capture THE perfect picture of it.
I love my DSLR, but am a little intimidated to use it at times. This class will help greatly.
I was given a DSLR camera 3 years ago and I haven’t taken it off automatic…I’m intimidated! I need all the help I can get 🙂
I have a book about my dslr laying on my shelf and it seems so daunting to me to read it! I would love the chance to learn more in a fun class!
Great post! Hopeful to get a spot in the workshop!
I adore my Rebel T3i and would love to learn to use it better!
Ahhhhh, learning photography, would love to gain some insight :))))
headed to italy in april – what a perfect time to get better at capturing moments?!

I recently bought a DSLR camera and have been attempting to take pictures during each of the Washington DC snowstorms. None have turned out as nice as I’d like and I feel like I’m just adjusting the settings randomly. I’d love to take a class!
Would LOVE to win a spot!
Such a great post thank you! Winning the give away would be really nice 🙂
Entering the giveaway! 🙂
This class is coming at the perfect time – I just got my first DSLR camera and I want to learn everything there is to know about it!

I definitely want a spot in your DSLR Class!! Pleas please please!!!
Perfect timing for me on this post! I’ve been looking for photography tips all week on the web. Can’t wait to try jumpology 🙂
This would be an amazing giveaway to win!! I have a DSLR but don’t use it as often as I would like to because of the fact that I don’t know how to use it!
I would love to be able to take this class!!! I used to consider myself a good photographer. But I haven’t had a really good camera for a while now. I truly desire to express myself thru photography once again and I believe this class would be a great inspiration to jump-start that passion in my life again. I’m so excited this classes are being offered here. It’s awsome!
This class would be so fun!
I asked for a dslr for my birthday a couple of years ago because I wanted to learn to shoot manually… I still don’t know how, and desperately need a class! Would love to win one!
I’d love to know which remote Elsie loves. Is there supposed to be a link for it in number 9? Thanks!
Hi ya’ll!! I have a DSLR that I would love to learn how to use!! Thanks for the great posts 🙂
I loved the iphonography tip about the photo being taken when you release your finger! I can’t believe I never realized that before. I can’t wait to try to take some action shots with this new understanding.
Also, I would love to be entered in the giveaway! No matter how long you’ve been taking photos, there’s always still room to learn more! 🙂 Thanks for the opportunity!
I am about to move to a new city (Chicago!) and I’d love to bring along some new camera skills to capture outfit photos and my new surroundings. Thanks for the tips and the giveaway! 🙂

Would love to win!!!
I’ve been intimidated by my camera for too long! Would love a chance to win! LOVE the jumpology photos.
i would LOVE to use my DSLR to its best capabilities!!! 🙂
ps. these jumping pics are fabulous!
I would really enjoy being a part of your class and learning some strategies before the birth of my first baby! It would be awesome to photograph her properly 🙂
How fun! I’d love a chance to win a spot in her class!
What a fun post! Here’s to a hopeful hop!
Would love this DSLR class!
These are such good tips–and what a genius idea for a post! I find that the hardest part for me with self portraits is relaxing my face, so sometimes I even turn my back to the camera. If that’s an option for your subject, it can be a good plan B! 🙂
Great tips! I’d love to have a chance to take your class!

I’d love to win a spot in the class!

Love Jumping photos (although I can never get them just right)! I just started using a DSLR for work and can’t really get the hang of it! I’d love to be part of this class!
This was a fantastic article! I espicially love the idea of telling people to try to make a shape with their body! Thanks so much!
Love my DSLR and look forward to possibly learning more about it! Great article!
I got a nifty fifty lens for my birthday. Would love to win a spot in the class!

Although I am a man, I would love to learn how to use my DSLR more effectively. I have a Canon Rebel xti and I feel very lost when it comes to optimizing it’s features. Thank you.

I would love to take a class! I really like how you said, have them count, not me (the photographer).
This is literally so so so cool! Not only are these photos gorgeous, but all of the subjects look super super super relaxed!

thanks, jenny
great tips! can’t wait to try them out
These photos are beautiful! And very playful indeed. The many secrets of jumpology have been narrowed down considerably with this list. Thanks once again for the tips. Cannot wait to try them out on my little nieces, nephews and friends! To be able to be even closer to mastering my DSLR would be a dream come true. 🙂
These tips are awesome! And the pun at the end was the best 🙂
http://everydayingrace.blogspot.ca/
I’d love to learn more about my DSLR. It’s a shame I shoot mostly in automatic mode. I also enjoyed this tutorial and can’t wait to try it out.

I was definitely considering taking this course!

If I had never read the last little foot notes, I would have never guessed all those photos were taken by the same person… great job!!
I would love to take this class! I love these jumpology shots.

Oooh! Would love to win a spot on the DSLR class. Just got a new one for Christmas and am travelling a bit this year. I’ve taken many a jumping photo and a couple of other things to note:
Scarves will get in your face if they aren’t heavy or if they are tied loosely.
If there are multiple people jumping, make sure that hands or long hair won’t cover other jumpers faces!
Love these tips! Thanks for a chance!
This workshop would be so helpful!
I love seeing photographers from “my” city. I have so many shots of that particular DUMBO street!
Ummm I WOULD LOVE to get a spot in the mastering dslr class. Please? My photography skills are pitiful. :/ Beautiful shots! Was excited to see Taza on here 🙂 – Leith

I finally bit the bait and got myself a DSLR. iPhone photography just wasn’t doing it for me anymore. 🙂
Thanks for the great tips! I would love a spot in the workshop. 🙂
So great. Love this! Great tips. I would love to learn more about SLR. I have taken a photography class but it would be wonderful to do a digital class to perfect my work.
Nice tips thanks
Love the jumping shots and would love a free class!
Photography is my passion. And I’ve recently begun to use it as a means of therapy and self-help. Please help teach me!!! I take pictures to help relax my mind, clear my head, see things from a different perspective, find beauty in everyday things, and share my feelings through photos rather than words. I’d love to learn more.
Learning how to use my camera is a big goal of mine–this would be a big help!
Cool! I love the history of jumping photos! It makes sense that your subject would be more relaxed while thinking of something else. Thanks for the tips!
We JUST purchased a DSLR (finally!) and I need to learn all it’s magic asap!
I’d jump for that class!
I’d jump for that class!
This is seriously the best! Love the tips…I just received a DSLR for Christmas and am looking for the best tips and tricks out there! So great!
The jumping photos look great. I would love to win a spot in the class.
Yes please! My camera taunts me every time I see that little green auto button!
Thanks for the great tips! I would love to take the DSLR class as I have been focusing on improving my photography this year.
This class would help me out a ton! I’m a graphic design student currently working on a photography project for my Interactive Media class. I need all the DSLR tips there are to help me out!
My first DSLR is in its way so winning the class would be amazing,,
Candice,
Great post! You seem really confident in the knowledge you’re sharing. I would love to see your class too 🙂
– Ashley
I’d love a spot in this class! I have had a DSLR camera for a while, but have never taken it off auto….
Awesome tips! I love the umbrellas mixed with the jumping.
As long as the picture is taken as the go into the jump, the clothes shouldn’t be an issue. If you capture as they come down from the jump, that’s when the clothes would get in their face.
Would love to win the class! Thanks!
ooh, emm, gee! I hope I win. These are all epic and I’d love to learn how! These are inspiring!
Thanks for sharing these tis. I can’t wait to try some “jumpology” shots of my grandkids!
My favorite kind of photos!

http://seekingstyleblog.wordpress.com
One of the most important photographs of all time could technically be jumpology. This verges on all that’s involved with the “decisive moment”.
Amazing advice! Would love to get a chance to take the class!!
I love it!!!! Can’t wait to use these tips…now where’s my remote! Would love to learn more.
I love this! After countless tries of trying to get the perfect jumping shot, it is great to see a post about how to really nail it!
Your blog has been so inspiring-bought a DSLR because of it! I’ve been hearing of more and more people who enjoy your blog as much as I do.
I’ve been in Manual for some time, but could always use more tips! There’s always more to learn in photography… Thanks for sharing, cute post!
Great tips. I’ve actually never tried to capture a jumping shot but I recently got a trampoline so this should come in handy!
Erin, beingerin.com
Such helpful tips! Thanks for sharing! I definitely need to get better with my camera!
I am falling deeper and deeper into obsession with photography and learning all that I can about how to properly use my DSLR to capture the images I want. I would love to take a course like this to learn to take better images. These jumping photos are phenomenal! I long to be an amazing photographer.
Would enjoy this class! It looks like a fun challenge.
Love this post! Jumping photographs have such a fun feel to them. I’d love to win a spot in the DSLR class 🙂

Amazing tips! I would LOVE to be entered to win an entry to the class 🙂
That first pic is STUNNING!! I’d love to use my DSLR to it’s fullest potential!
I have wanted to learn to use my camera to the full extent. I often know what I want but can’t get the actual picture to look like what I imagined. I’ve kind of gotten frustrated and put the camera away. With spring coming its time to get it out and try again.
I recently bought the Canon Rebel t3i and I’d LOVE the chance to take this workshop!
I’ve had my DSLR since Christmas and would love to learn more!!! xx
Oh, I’d love to win!

Oh my gosh….. I have a Cannon Rebel DSLR and I know nothing about using it…. I have been meaning to take a class and just never make the time…. And because I don’t know how to use my camera I leave it behind on vacations and am always disappointed I didn’t bring my camera and just play…gotta learn some how….. 🙂
Would love to take a DSLR class! Got my Canon 6D a few months ago and really want to learn all that it can do!

such an exciting giveaway! I got a DSLR a few months ago and I am completely overwhelmed by it! I’d love to take this course 🙂
Great tips, I’m totally going to have to try them out this weekend! I avoid my ancient DSLR in favour of my camera phone simply because the hulking thing is so intimidating!
Thanks for the jumping tips!
These are some great tips! And, I SOOOOO need a class on how to use my DSLR. Improving my photography is one of my New Years Resolutions, I just don’t have the money right now to afford the class!
I’m ALL ABOUT jumping photos but definitely guilty of pulling a few weird faces that kinda ruin them!
I love to jump in my outfit photos as it makes them more fun and interesting but I usually end up cropping out my face! (Exhibit A: http://pixieandpixier.com/2014/03/07/neon-pink-diy-sticker-coated-bag-outfit/)
xoxo
I’d love the opportunity to get in on Candice’s class!
As someone who has had her DSLR for a while, I still haven’t had the opportunity to REALLY get acquainted with the ins and outs of it all.
Fingers crossed 🙂
Thanks, ABM team xx
This is such a useful and inspiring post! I have been trying to figure out my DSLR for months now, and reading various manuals just isn’t cutting it. I would LOVE to take this workshop, thanks for the giveaway!

Love the tips on Jumpology! Love the pictures. And I’d love to be in the class! I need all the photography help I can get!
I love jumping shots! I didn’t see the link for the remote, did I skip by it?
I’d love to not be scared/take forever to adjust the settings in different lighting (I learned just how slow at Disney, gave up and went back to the ol’ trusty Auto) on my camera.
I’ve been following Candice Stringham for years now and LOVE her work… and now she’s teaming up with you guys!?!?! WOW! I’m in the market to get a DSLR but all the information is just so overwhelming. Will you be offering this class again in the future? In any case, I can’t wait to get my camera!

I’ve recently made drastic life decisions and quit my job to focus on my family, studies and my blog! I’ve bought the ABM photo book, and am so eager to learn to use my canon dslr properly! This course would take my skills and my blog to the next level!

Such a brilliant tutorial!
I’m on day two of teaching myself how to use my new camera and would LOVE your help to accelerate the process. I’m really pleased with some of the shots I’ve taken so far, and can’t wait to see what I can do once I properly understand the camera and how to get the most out of it. I’ve also discovered ABM Photoshop Actions and am in love!
I love jumping shots, they’re so fun! I’d love to take Candice’s class, my parents recently bought a DSLR so I’d love to learn how to use it properly 🙂
A friend of mine is a photo historian. I want to say she works for the Archives and is constantly sorting through pictures. It’s pretty cool seeing things she is working on. If you ever change your mind about that masters degree 🙂
i just started using digital cameras. i am used to take all my pictures on film. so i really need the crash course in how to use my new camera.. 🙂
I would love to take this workshop! fingers crossed
I’m excited for this class! I’ve been using my DSLR for awhile now but I’d love to learn more!
What amazing tips! I think Might try some jumping pictures today. I’d love to win your class.. Your knowledge is fantastic!

The first umbrella shot is so beautiful! I love it xx
I just bought my first DSLR and I have no idea how to use it. I can’t motivate myself to learn by myself, a course is just what I need. I want to start jumping!
these look great! I need to understand the theory part better still, but the composition part always throws me so my pictures still look rubbish. would love to try the course and finally learn to do it right.
Great photos. I took a jump shot for my brother’s wedding 5 years ago but it’s not as good as these! think I need to do the course 🙂
I’m loving this “jumpology” trend! Candice-you have beautiful images!!! I also received my Bachelors in Photography but looking at this post and the way you talk about the history makes me miss my classes and want to join your class! Plus learning never ends!! Thanks so much for making me feel inspired tonight! 🙂
Having just bought my first DSLR (Canon 700D) this week I know I would have hours of fun on Candice’s course and would be an invaluable start to my new hobby!
The first photo on this post is incredible – I can’t stop staring at it!
Xx
Great post! Jumping photos are always fun. I’ve assisted a few wedding shoots, where we also had the bride and groom jumping. It really makes great pictures.
Thanks for sharing.
http://www.creagirl.com
yay! I hope I win.
Love Candice have completed most of her classes she is awesome 🙂
I love photogaphy and am trying to teach myself how to use my DSLR properly, so your course would be a great help!
xx Flora
would LOVE To learn how to use my new DSLR camera to it’s fullest potential! .. especially if I won the drawing!
I’ve resolved to give more time to developing my creative skills this year – I’m a school teacher, and the job takes as much as I am willing to give, which leaves very little time for me! I’ve decided that I’ll be of more use to the kids if I’m energised by my own creative pursuits, and seeing your new range of Photoshop actions has made me decide to buy Photoshop for the first time! I’d love to win a place on the DSLR course to go with that!
Keep up the good work, ladies. I read your blog every day and it keeps me feeling motivated to make room for the good things in life. Xx
I’d love to win the giveaway! Great post!
I’ve taken some of your blog e-courses before and i love to take a photography one.. Fingers crossed!
Such a good post. I remember last year when I tried to do some jumping pictures with my friend. We looked like elephants 🙂
polypolinaaa.blogspot.co.uk
Great tips, Candice!
Really great post thanks! I would love to go on your course!
I love jumpology! I’m the worst jumper in photos, so these tips will come in so handy!
I have a Sony a65, but i noticed the ecourse said it’s geared for Nikon and Canon, would I be able to apply the same instructions to mine?
Thaaaaank you!
Please, please, please give me a spot! I could so use it to feel more comfortable and in control with my wonderful camera!
I would love to do the class! Anything to learn to take as great photos as ABM!
x
Yay! Please let it be me, I want in on that class!
We have a small section of jumping in my dance lessons and I enjoy it very much! This post has made me remember my lessons and it makes me feel happy! 🙂

Nice tips! I would love to get a spot on the workshop!
I’ve had my DSLR for some time now but I’m always using the same mode, so this classes would definitely help me to step out of my comfort zone.
I’d love to attend the class but I’m still hesitant due to the price. As a student I can’t really afford it 🙁 Hope to win the giveaway…
I’m following A Beautiful Mess for a few months now and I really love all your tips (: I’d love to be a part of Candice’s workshop o^^o

I would love to finally get to know my already beloved DSLR’s features a little better. Running low on budget, though, so this would be an amazing chance! 😉
Great tips! Thank you. I will give these tip a try.
I’d love to win a place in the DSLR class! It surely would be a great way to improve my photography skills! 🙂
I just started my own interior design business after staying home with my girls…..and finding myself unexpectedly as a single mom! I need and want to be able to take photos of my installs to post on social media sites and on my website. Hoping to win the give-away and learn how to really take advantage of my Canon DSLR. Love your blog. Always learn something!
Great tips! Look forward to trying some jumpology once it warms up a bit! And I’m always looking for ways to improve my photography, thanks for the chance to win!
Love these photos and would love to learn more about how to take some great pictures with my DSLR. Crossing fingers!
Leaving a comment! It would be awesome to enjoy that workshop. I am pursuing a career in photography, and love all the tips you post. I just started using manual 🙂
Love your jumpography! I captured the best photo of my husband jumping into the bay off our sailboat last summer with my iPhone. I have no idea how I got so lucky because the picture is amazing. I would love to share it with y’all.
This was a great post, thank you for writing it! I would love a spot in your class 🙂
I would love to win the giveaway and take the class!
Thanks for a super informative and inspiring post! I’m having trouble taking decent pics of my ever moving three year old boys. Maybe making them jump will help.
Also, what a lovely giveaway! Learning how to use my dslr properly has been on my bucket list for ages.
Ah, what a great post. Have spend hours in Paris shooting endless jumping photos with my friend group, switching off photographers. Le sigh. Would be all about the class! Thank you ladies keep up the güd work
Wonderful and practical tips! Thanks for the opportunity to win a spot in your class!!!!

I love love love jumping photos! I don’t really have experience in taking them though, so it would be awesome to learn from someone like Candice!:)
How exciting! I would love to win this giveaway. I am obsessed with learning all about new ways of using my camera. Crossing my fingers!
Would love to get a spot in this class!! Thanks for the chance 🙂
I really want to join this class. It will really help me especially that summer is coming. I will more time with my DSLR
Recently bought a Nikon D3200 as well as the ABM Photo Idea book. These 2 have not left my side since the purchase (and I’m a tax consultant!).
Taking the Mastering Your DSLR class would be amazing, as my husband and I recently moved to Denver from sunny SoCal (May of last year) so the photography opportunities out here are endless!
Fabulous tips! Id love to do the workshop, it looks fantastic!
These photos are amazing. I would love to be more adept with my DSLR! Inspiring me to go out and get snapping immediately.
Would love to take the class!
I have a problem with jumpology because I tend to jump lower than my friends do, it makes a bad picture 🙁
I’m a fashion students and am learning how to use a DSLR to photograph my designs, this class would be great to win!
Thank you for the tips! The workshop sounds splendid and would love to attend.
It would be so fantastic to take a DSLR class! Thanks for running the giveaway!
I would love to win a spot in this course. I love photography and always want to learn more!
I’ve just picked up photography and got my first DSLR a month ago. I’m in love, but I still just mess around until it looks like it does in my head and then hit the button 🙂 not the most polished way to do it. I’m excited about the tips you offer, classes etc. (I also commented on another post recently and almost never comment, so I’m sorry if I’m over commenting, but your site is awesome!) Thank you for putting all of this information out there. I know it is a lot of work, but it really helps!
Hi Candice
What a great tips you share to us today.
Trying my luck here, I’m a newbie in DSL, just buy a Canon camera several months ago for taking pictures next month while I’m givin myself and my mom a spare time away from our routine jobs.
Winning the chance to learn about DSLR with you will be so much appreciated. Thank you Candice and all team in ABM 🙂
What an awesome offer! I have a dslr and would love to know how to get better pictures!
I love taking jumping shots so this was truly helpful! It’s fascinating to think there’s a whole history behind them.
OMG I love jumping photos! And thanks a lot for the tip about cell phone photography. That pause has always bothered me and I never realized there was a solution. =)
I would love, love, LOVE to win this. Photography is quickly becoming one of my favorite things but I desperately need guidance for manual instruction. *fingers crossed*
Thanks for the tips!
However, let’s not forget that for iPhone users, holding onto the shutter button will create burst mode! But that would mean you won’t miss the shot!
Win-Win!
I love this! Have had great fun trying out jumping shots in the past and this advice makes it so much clearer why some shots were working and some were a mis-timed mess! I’d love to get more comfortable with the settings on my DSLR and think this course would be the perfect opportunity – books are so much harder to follow than a teacher! Sometimes wonder if my camera is capable of doing what I imagine or if I need to upgrade, but I don’t think I’m making the most of it and am relying more than I’d like on editing afterwards. What a great opportunity. Love it – ABM is always such an inspiration. Go team! xxx
Wow. This looks like a neat class.
These photos are so fun!
I’d love a chance to win the class. I really need to be braver about seeing what my camera can actually do. (and actually haul it around instead of using my phone!)
What a great post—I can’t wait to give it a try!
Would love to take the class, I have never taken an on-line photo class before and would love the opportunity!
sounds like a super great class! Would love to know more about my camera…..and creative tips!!! 🙂
Thank you for such clear and easy steps!!!!!! <3
Your pictures are very inspiring and I would looooooooooooooooove a spot on the DSLR course!!!!!
Awesome photos! Thanks for the tips & the giveaway 🙂
I still do a woeful amount of shooting in auto mode on my DSLR; for as many instruction posts as I’ve read on shooting in manual mode, I’m still just not comfortable enough with all the variables. Would love to take a class to get over the hump! Thanks for the great giveaway, and the great tips.
This is exactly what I need to get to jump start my desire for better photo taking. I lwould love the opportunity and a spot in your class. Fingers crossed!
Great tips on taking jumping pictures AND a chance to take your DSLR class-
Bonus day!
Count me in-thanks!
I’d love to win a spot in this class, have never really dared to experiment with my DSLR before! x
Fingers crossed on this one. I need to take my photography up a notch.

I bought a second hand Nikon D40 and I would love a spot in this class! So far I’ve only been using the automatic settings, the rest of the buttons are very confusing to me!
Great tips 🙂
Would love to win a place in the workshop! 🙂
I love the shots with umbrellas. And I would LOVE to take the class!

I’d love to be in this workshop!
Lovely! I just got my first DSLR yesterday and I would love to learn from you beautiful ladies! I’m so inspired by your photography on this blog and your style of shooting and editing. This class would be a “jump” in the right direction!
I would LOVE a spot in the class, but I would also love to say how much I enjoy JUMPING! I am a dancer, so I try to leap in each country we visit. I the ones where I couldn’t jump (bad camera, etc) my husband and I started a Splits Around the World photo album for me instead! Such fun;)
I’d love to win this awesome giveaway!!! Photography is a huge passion of mine and I am trying to learn as much as I can to make it a second career at some point!

I could really use a class on my DSLR 🙂
I just got a DSLR last year to help take pictures at my sewing shop for our website, and I am still such a n00b on it all. I’d love to take a class. Your pictures are always beautiful!
Great tips! I would LOVE to take this class! I bought a DSLR last year after my son was born. It was originally with the intent of just having better quality photos for memories sake. But, now I am obsessed with it. I want to learn as much as possible and stop using auto focus all the time. lol
oh this would be awesome! I would love to learn more how to work with my camera and I looooove the jumping pictures. Need to try your tips asap!
I want a spot in this workshop please!! 🙂
I would love to learn how to navigate my camera better!
I would love going to this workshop so much!
I love taking photos!
I love how you talk about the history of jumpology. Until reading this post, I did not realize this was a coined term. As a history major, I truly enjoyed reading about someone else’s love for history and hearing them express their joy and love for their craft’s history.
love this!! and i’d love love loooove to win those classes!!
Thank you for this fabulous giveaway! I’ve set my DSLR aside for a very long time, this would be a prime chance to dust it off again!

These pictures look amazing! I feel so inspired and I’d absolutely love to have the chance to participate in the workshop.

Great tips and photos! Would love to take the class.
In desperate need of this class! Have been trying to find the right one and this seems so perfect!!!
I love to take jumping photos- when I want one of myself and theres no one there to take it (or my friends can’t figure out how to get me in the air) I take a video and then just make a photo out of it after (it’s not as good but its the best I could do) I love your tip to stay lower though to make it look as the subject is even higher! I’d love to learn more about photography!
I’d love to win a seat in class! Thanks for the giveaway!

So great! I got a new camera for Christmas this year, and I’m completely lost. I have a new baby and keep resorting to capturing photos on my phone, because the camera seems too complicated. Definitely going to be checking this blog for tips. Thanks!
Thanks for these great tips! I really love that first photo, by the way. It is so beautiful!
Great tips! Sounds like your workshop is going to be so much fun! I really love all these jumping photos too, they always look like they’re having fun. 🙂
Love these tips and such inspiring photos! I have a DSLR but am still learning how to use it in all different ways! Would love to attend the workshop!
I’ve been looking around for a good DSLR course since I bought my camera just before Christmas. This would be perfect! 🙂
P.s. All my holiday snaps seem to turn into jump shots, it always makes a pretty background look even better 🙂
Great post! I’d love to enhance my DSLR skills. As an ol’ dark room photographer, I tend to feel
overwhelmed by the latest features on DSLRs .
Looks amazing! great tips.

Love the jumping tips, I will have to try this out very soon! Also, I would love to win a spot in your DSLR class. I’ve been learning as I go but I would LOVE a place to ask questions and the challenge of a weekly assignment.
I’ve been looking for a class just like this one! How awesome. Also, have spent two weeks doing jump photos of my 5 year old, it is the only way she wants to be photographed now!
The workshop sounds great, and your tips are helpful. Thanks for the chance to win!
I would love a spot in this class! I’ve had my DSLR for over a year now and my New Year’s resolution was to work out how to use it properly as I’m getting so frustrated with the auto settings! Fab post and great pics!x
I would really like to take the DSLR class, I think I would learn alot and as a college student I am on a very tight budget so $99 is a fortune right now.
Fun! I can’t wait to take some jumping pics now!
I’d love to win a spot in this class! The DSLR that my husband bought me 6 months ago is sitting forlornly in it’s bag, stuck on automatic mode haha!

I would die if I won this course!
I so need help with my camera. Love your photos. They are stunning.
I love all these tips!
It feels like it’s been ages since I picked up my DSLR. Maybe a refresher course could help give me a reason to dust it off and sharpen my skills!
These pictures look so cool! As soon as the weather clears up, I’m going to try out these tips 🙂
I would so love to be a part of the class! There is so much I still need to learn about my camera!
Love the idea of jumpology! What fabulous photos. New goal is to take more creative pictures and jump out of my photography comfort zone. 🙂
Love this!
I would love to do that workshop! 🙂
I’ve had a DSLR for a few years now but I haven’t used it in about 18 months and can’t really recall how to use many of the features. Sounds like a great class. Thanks for the chance to win!
I’d love a chance to be a part of the workshop.
Lovely photos!
I love taking jumping photos! And I have a new DSLR that I would love to learn how to use more features of.

Thank you for amazing post! I would love to be the lucky winner of this giveaway! Especially, since I started my blog, it would be very helpful to get better at my camera.
Very nice post! I love to take this ind of pictures from my kids.
I already try to go to manual mode by myself, but such a course would help me a lot!!!
Great tips! Jumping photos are my favorite, and I am definitely guilty of having a weird facial expression mid-air, haha.
This is absolutely helpful! Thank you so much for the tips. Would love to be able to sit in on the DSLR class! Beautiful images!
oh learn to use my camera. Id love to 🙂
I haven’t really been that into photography before – sure I loved seeing beautiful photos but never thought about taken them myself… Lately I’m starting to open my eyes to the idea and am thinking of getting my fingers in a better camera than just my phone – I have never really been that satisfied by the photos it takes.
This post just made me want it even more! So thanks for the tips 🙂
I’d love to win a place. One of my resolutions this year is to work on my photography and master my DSLR.
Morgan
Would Love to learn how to take pictures like this!
And to participate in the DSLR giveaway

Also already registered and can’t wait! My bf and I actually took some lakeside jumping shots this weekend which was a lot of fun.
Oh I hope I win this! I work on Manual but still want to perfect my little skills that I have. Thanks!! Kathryn
Amazing photos!
I would totally love to do this workshop
Gorgeous, stunning photos! I have recently started my own photography business, and would love to take this class! Thank you so much for the chance to win.
I have a DSLR, but I seem to be stymied. I love your jumping shots and think I need a jump start to my photography. I keep waiting for my “light bulb moment” when it all comes together. So far, not so much! My blog was to be a photography/card making blog and you will be able to see that there isn’t much photography except of my card making.

First of all THANKS for this post! I have a few mid air-shots that haven’t seen the light of day, no pun intended 🙂
I recently got a Canon Rebel SL1 and it remains unopened, collecting dust. I’d love to dust it off 🙂
I’d love to win a place in this course. I’ve spent way to much time in manual mode!
I would love to win the workshop giveaway! I experiment with the settings on my DSLR all the time, but have no idea what any of it means or what i am really doing. It would be great to actually understand what all the bells and whistles mean!
I have a DSLR but too scared to take it off auto-mode. This would definitely help!
Great tips – thanks! I’m working on some photos for a sweater pattern and want to do some jumping, so I will put those suggestions to use 🙂
Love all these tips to master jumpology! Would absolutely love the opportunity to take the DSLR class – it is about time I learn how to properly use that thing! 🙂

I want to learn so badly! I have so many trips coming up, and want to capture every moment! xoxo Heidi
Learning to master my dSLR has been on my bucket list for the last couple of years. It’s time that I got on that!
I’m pretty useless at taking and participating in jumping photos so this was very interesting to read! Also would love to learn how to use my camera properly!
I’ve been looking at registering for this class. I could definitely use some help at mastering my new DSLR!
What a wonderful opportunity!!!

Tami
I’d love to learn more and take a class!
You know I’ve never really thought about the concept of jumpology and what it can do for your subject. I think that’s a wonderful thing to be able to capture the essence of your subject. I work mostly with video but have an increasing interest in photography as well.
I love the bright colors of the people in the photos as well. I feel inspired to experiment with this technique!
I became obsessed with jumping pictures a while back. I love when people look as though they’re not exactly jumping, just floating in the air. Candice’s workshop sounds amazing! Would love to join.
We just came back from our honeymoon and all the photos I took on manual are a fail! Would really love to take part in your class so I can put our camera to use. Julia
Thanks for the tips and the chance to win a spot in the class!!
Amazing! If your pictures themselves aren’t enough inspiration to learn from you, then your trailer sealed the deal! Coming home now from a trip in Thailand, and I’ve been reminded of how little I know about my camera… Especially trying to photograph all these sunsets. Would love to join the class!
I want to do the DSLR with my mum as a way to bond before her and her camera are off to Burma!!!!
Just bought a new DSLR, this class would be so helpful!
Loved this post!
I would LOVE to get into the course!!!

Thanks for sharing your tips! We do a family jumping picture during our Christmas shoot each year. Excited to try to catch my little two year old jumping this year! Had family MAKE me take their engagement shots with my inherited DSLR last year and I felt like I miserably failed them with grainy images! Would love your expertise. 🙂

So continuous burst mode is a key to take great jumping pictures! How could I never have thought of that >< Also, thanks for the tip on phone cameras!
I have been trying to master my Cannon for a long time. I always go back to auto. It’s like learning another language to me. I love taking pictures. I wish I understood my camera better.
Hi girls… I’m Bia from Brazil and I’m a big fan of u guys! I get in at A Beautiful Mess every single day for a while now! Really love ur work and I’m really happy to see the growth of it.

I purchased the DSLR camera but I feel very lost with the power. I want to take awesome pictures but can’t get off automatic and would love to take the class.
I am on the brink of buying a new camera. I would love to attend this course, to justify pushing me over the edge. Life behind the lens offers such a special way to capture time. Please help me learn how to creatively freeze time!! Kindest regards x

Great jump! Love the tips
Do you offer the DSLR workshop online? I love your work! Thanks for the jumpology tips!
