August's Last Tease

Nikolai

Had a nice shoot yesterday, Sunday August 31st. Hope to pocess it soon, but in the mean time, a few tease frames:

We started with my fairly common lighting (main + key + rims + hair):



And then switched to a considerably lower key:



Thus producing the results similar to this:



About 5pm we took a long enduring hike to the "Reservoir Rock":



Which did its usual fine job for providing an exquisit and highly secluded outdoor location:



And finally, just for kicks, Un Ultimate Backdrop (handheld pano of several V frames stitched in PS):



Stay tuned for finals (coming soon to a browser near you:-)! :thumb

Thanks, Marina!
She does, doesn't she? ;-) And at some angles she looks like Adriana Luma, believe it or not.
BTW, she's fresh from Altai, only two months in US - Siberian chicks rule!:-)

It was quite unusual sunset pattern indeed, at least for our area.
But gosh, am I still sore. I haven't trained for the last three weeks, and I felt it on the hike. Gotta get back in the saddle/running shoes again, I don't want to slow Marc and his posse in Utah

Nikolai,

I'm sorry I really need to be some what critical of these shots.

# 1 is of course understandable, and excluded from the critique.

The ghost hunters are looking for your model in #2.

In the third shot, what is the subject, the girl or the water bottle?

In your forth shot all I could think of is, while the model sure is a looker some one needs to explain why they call them things back packs, and what those straps are for.

In the 5th image I can barley see the model. You need to get closer. She is after all not ugly.

The last shot is too fuzzy.
