POTD: Might as well jump

I was actually thinking of fronting this image in the lead-in for my next full blog entry, so I was hesitant to use it as a Picture of the Day, but it seems a shame to wait until then ;). As mentioned yesterday, we spent a fantastic day at Fuji-Q Highlands last Sunday - in between rides we decided to stop to take a jumping picture in the middle of the park. I was worried about how this shot would turn out - I really wanted Mt. Fuji in the background, but that meant everyone was going to be strongly backlit and I didn't bring my speedlite along for fill flash. Fortunately, the built-in flash sufficed (well enough to at least enable me to get the shot) though it's obviously being outclassed by what appears to be a miniature supernova exploding out of peoples' armpits :)
