Kat in Bed (18+)

Well, in *dry lake* bed... ;-) :wink
Some time ago me and Kat (which you may have seen before) joined our efforts again to try our luck on a dry lake bed up in Eastern Sierras (close to the Owens Lake, but further East towards DV). We only had just over an hour to shoot and the sun didn't cooperate, so we didn't get much.
Yet I thought I'd share some...

#1: Kat's Attack

Technicalities: Canon 5DMarkIII + 16-35L/2.8 Mark II, handheld, processed in ACR7.1

    Nick, this is by far my favorite of all your sets. In particular, 1 and 4 are fantastic! thumb.gif

    Intriguing. 3 and 4 are my favorites (4 in particular is very evocative). The shadows on her legs in #1 really bother me though.

    Love the creativity and execution. My favorites are #3 and #4, with a big edge for #4. I would like to see it with the blue sky at the top cropped out.

    The sun didn't cooperate? Sure looks like it did to me - fantastic images

    1 + 2 are my favourites here, although she looks slightly cold in #1
