Model

A couple more pix from the model shoot.

C&Cs appreciated. The one against the sandstone reminds me of a movie but can't recall the name.. a Sci-Fi movie, maybe?

G, i like the first (reminds me of Thelma and Louise). but I like the DOF on the second. Wish I could offer CC but I like them both.

I like the first one better. Great colours and clarity. The background is awesome! Bringing her away from the bg a little should eliminate the flash shadows if you are bothered about them.

I have nothing to add either. You done very well and with a model that knows her stuff. Nice work.

Great shots and great expressions from the model.

Only critique I have is that the shadows on the wall behind her in #2 are so faint that they cause a double-vision kind of effect for me.

I too enjoy the first one the most (although both are good shots). The shadows in the bottom left of the first one is what bothers me the most though. She sure does like those boots eh?

I like the first one too, but (as usual) I really like her look in the 2nd better, its the wall behind her I don't like so much, it's a little on the low side, or maybe the tree's lol I dont know, something about the background. More?

Thanks All.

Wow, didn't even notice the flash shadows on the top one. That's one bad thing about using fill flash when the background is nearby. It's even more noticeable when you turn your camera sideways and the external flash is pushed outward about 1/2 a foot.

Javier .. Thelma and Louise..? :D I still think there's a 60s movie or something that she belongs in there.

Alison - The shadows don't bother me but they may be construed as a mistake. I think it's best to either make effects invisible or very obvious. :)

Btw, the location is Torrey Pines in San Diego (Del Mar). They just had a golf tournament there.

Greg, just thought of something ... this model would look great posing in front of that store in your avatar. :D

DR - ... yeah, I agree. Sort of a double vision effect. Not super noticeable in # 1 but # 2 they're definitely there. I bet I could PS them out in 10 minutes.

Nick - Yeah she seems comfortable with them on. She lives in the eastern semi-desert area of San Diego county so I knew asking her to bring her cowboy attire would work.

Lori, I agree that the wall is just 'there.' I think this was one of the first shots more or less warm up. I am surprised that some of them actually came out so well (usually the first batch of shots of a model are too stiff. She turned it on quick). I'll post more soon
