iJustine Ezarik vs. Brian Shaler - Internet Celebrity Jump - editorial Jumping - ACME Photography by ACME-Nollmeyer.
Justine Ezarik and Brian Shaler do the "Shalerjump" in Santa Monica California.

iJustine [on twitter] and BrianShaler [on twitter] have decent amount of "fans" online for various projects which they each do.

They could also be considered "Power Users" of twitter.com

This photo documents a friendly competition to see who could jump high while also using good form, poise and model like poise... AKA a ShalerJump

I'm not quite sure who won, which you would think would be very easy, just look at the height right? Well, there are other factors like pose, when the photo is snapped, etc.

So..... Why don't you vote for iJustine or Brian Shaler....
Just put a comment below with who you think is "winning" the photo finish. I'm the photographer, but YOU be the judge! (If' you're not sure, you can still critique each one's style)

PS
: Oh ya, I'm on twitter too: AcmePhoto

Justine wins, for sure — I'm biased.

Seriously (seriously), though, the perfect right-angle of her right arm contrasted by her perfectly straight left arm, the amazing bend in both legs, and all that hair with all that shape; easily pwns Brian. Sorry, Brian.

She's better looking and has some flair in her jump, but Brian's shadow looks better and more clear.

The verdict...?

She wins the jump by a hair because of her hair.

But he wins in the Shadow Competition. :)

Schmeld,

Hmm, one good for each, I say it's nearly a tie!?

So I guess Shaler can only win if he grows his hair out? Now I know why they have wNBA and NBA. :-)

@ACME-Nollmeyer:

Well, there's more to it than that -- iJustine doesn't get 5 o'clock shadow. :P

Also, her arm and leg positions are more unique.

@schmelding That's funny.... 5 o'clock shadow!

@all, wow, i missed some of the other comments. It looks like Justine is winning. (are there just guys viewing this...;-)

Doesn't Brian have geek girls following him??

I was going to say his shadow is winning, but instead I'l say it looks like his shadow is going to bite her leg.

I love her wild hair as well... also, funny videos on your web site Justine -- I like em.

Yeah, I am giving Brian the vote on this. Though I am surprised by Justine's leap. Hers seems a bit more crazy and less calculated.

The 'Shaler Jump' as illustrated is essentially the Super Mario Bro's jump. It looks the same every time.

Brian Shaler  Pro User  says:

@boxseven: I would argue that it doesn't look the same every time, but it is similar to about 2/3 of the ShalerJump photos to date.

I would agree with "more crazy and less calculated" and you could also say it's a little sloppy and amateurish ;-) I think the wild hair is awesome, but in this photo, it is detracting from the photo because you can't even tell that this is THE Justine Ezarik. What if it's just a look-a-like?

strebel  Pro User  says:

pure gangster.. this is a contest of "ShalerJump".

While a decent effort, I do not think It will called the "JustineJump" anytime soon.

Although.. Justine has to have somthin, that is "hers" and so another contest should be in order. Justine vs Shaler in Justine____ contest.

How can you compete with the original? You can't, thats how.

Looks to me like Shaler has thoroughly trounced the "competition" this time.

I'm going to have to call it a tie, old vs. new, hard to make the call - one has height, one has beauty!

On a tech note, you really only had a single 800 for lighting? I've got a 600 and don't feel I get nearly as much light, granted, lesser model, but still, can't be *that* much of a difference?

Obviously the hair does nothing but distract from a very bad jump. It also looks as though she is using arm physics to propel herself rather than pure leg strength... I'm giving this one to Brian, the obviously better contender.

ACME-Nollmeyer  Pro User  says:

I'll "count" votes later, but it looks like there's been a bit of a "rally" for Mr Shaler......

It's also funny to see how some comments are way one way, or the other.... Like true fans of any sport / team. (Just don't paint your faces folks!)

@ValleyPhotography Yes it's one SB800, not even on full power, maybe 1/2 power or 1/2 - 2/3's Try opening up on your camera, or cranking up your ISO if your flash is having problems?! The sb800 may have an extra stop though.

@nerdboxpilot Ha, funny..... Not trampolies, It's that good!

@ijustine For one who hasn't jumped as much, I was impressed... I'll bet it's from your work back in the Parkour days?

Love the strong shadows and the tilted angle!

Shaler looks higher, but the horizon line is tilted in his favor. Fun fun.

Brian Shaler  Pro User  says:

@Daniel: If you notice that I'm behind her, the lower camera perspective is actually in *her* favor more than the horizon line. Take a look at the shadows (the light was about 6 feet above the ground).

With that knowledge, feel free to cast a vote to break the current tie ;-)
