I got a 2nd chance to work with this super duper person and model recently and this time with a little more enthusiasm from Mother Nature providing us some dramatic backdrops...Hard to capture this in a studio that's for darn sure!!

All images shot with Canon 10d and Canon EF 70-200mm lens, f/2.8 and between 1/500 - 1/3000, ISO 100 to 400 and WB changed from ambient to cloudy as the storms began a brewin towards the end.

First two swimsuits courtesy of Dangerous Curves Swimwear and the red thong suit provided by Fiu Fiu! Swimwear.

Andy,

So it wasn't enough that you shot her once? OK, no need now sending her out West....it's obvious that you have already used up all the great shots in this one.

On the other hand........ [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Looks like nature had blessed not just the sand and water, but her as well. Nice work as always capturing her breathtaking beauty. I hope to one day, have the opportuinty to shoot models as beautiful and as skillfully as you sir.

AMc,
I like the swimwear. I like the model. I even like the photography [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img].

It looks like you may have had some good sun for a little while. Man O man I cannot wait till these summer storms pass.

Best,

Allen

Well,...uhmmmm........aaaahhhhhhhh..........hmm..

You know I'm not a big fan of obvious photoshop.. ....and I know that this blur stuff is popular with your models,....but the 6th one down....makes me feel all woozy.. It looked like a strait pitch at first but it turned into a curve ball.. Aside from what appears that you wanted to achieve the results of a 400mm f2.8 with a 70-200mm 2.8 zoom lens not racked out to 200mm, by all the photo shopping in the blur to the backgrounds.....I am from the "old school" where one would get that blur from the lens..

Again,.... I'm not a bikini wearing model... I'm a just a critical photographer.. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

That's the best word to describe your work, Andy. Consistently beautiful models. Consistently good shooting. Consistently skilled post production. It's no wonder your clients like you. You give them what they expect ... and us, too. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img] Thanks for sharing.
