It took 150 jumps before I got what I felt looked like natural levitation. I now have even more respect for Natsumi Hawashi. I can't believe she does this almost every day and has up to 300 takes. She must have calves of steel!
I'm not 100% happy with this. I think the "levitation" looks good, but I'm not sure about the shots composure. It's hard to make "mundane life" look interesting. I'm going to guess this gets a 5.7
Front room had an 580EX II pointed mostly at the ceiling, but I let some bleed through a shoot through umbrella. Set to 1/4 power.
Middle room had a bare SB-26 set to 1/16 power. It had a gobo to block any hard light and was bounced off some white paper to get the edge lighting on my left side.
Back room had a Vivitar 285 set to 1/16 power on a shoot through umbrella.

This is probably my favorite of the bunch! The look is so amazing realistic. The appearance of levitation is perfectly executed here! WONDERFUL SHOT! 10.
