GFC#2: Stretched

Rules: the model has to be stretched, as in his/her hand(s) and leg(s) extended rather strongly while keeping it all within the frame....

Timeline: picture has to be taken during Nov 2009

Where to post: in this thread

Judging/awards/etc. - TBD

It goes without saying the image should be 18+ in nature...

Hopefully this challenge will get more action than #1 :-)

    Sad as it is, I don't think I have permission to do that. Much as I want to share, unless I secure an "ok" it ain't happening.

    Unfortunate, really, because she is stunningly beautiful.

    Thank you for sharing! thumb.gif
    I wouldn't call it a valid entry (even though I myself failed to provide one:-) - I don't see much stretching going ne_nau.gif , but let's keep trying and posting!

    This here challenge is prolonged until we get some nice valid entries! mwink.gif

    BTW, FWIW, you could submit this image to a stock site and they wouldn't require a release, cause there is no way in hell anybody could possibly identify the model! deal.gif

    Cool. I will shoot something specifically for this challenge Nikolai. Let's see what I come up with.

    Well, "stretch" was what I asked her to do, and she was arching her back pretty hard on that pose... could only hold it for a minute. To each their own, but this was the best I could get in this genre. I'm back in DC now, so my access to this model is gone.

    I noticed the arch... However, what was requested is:
    the model has to be stretched, as in his/her hand(s) and leg(s) extended rather strongly while keeping it all within the frame
    Capturing arching one's back is easy. "Arch and suck!" is probably the most popular direction/command on a shooting stage.
    I wanted it to be a challenge for photogrpahers, not for models... mwink.gif

    OK Nikolai. Here is my attempt at this. I wanted to get more stretched but I just don't have the room with my 28-70mm on my crop body. As such, I tried my best.

    I don't have grids yet so I simply used my ABs with the 7" reflector covered with a white cotton t-shirt. I used both lights. I also used my speedlight, again covered by a white t-shirt as fill.

    What do you think?
