I had a color guard show on Sunday and I knew that this performer would be doing a flip as I saw them a few times already this season. Because of other performers in the background and the back corner of the gym, I decided to extract him and fancy up the background. I love the look on his face just before he starts, so I decided to include that shot in the composite. Then I thought it needed a shot of him at the end of the sequence to balance things out. The performer is Marcus Shipp from Black Watch. As I write this, the group is just a few hours away from their prelims performance at Winter Guard International championships in Dayton OH.

The full sequence of photos is at https://chrismaher.smugmug.com/Challenge2024/Week15. I pulled the entire 37 frame sequence into a short clip. This gives a good sense of the height he gets on his jump. https://youtube.com/shorts/Z-uyOxKvE3U?feature=share
