Just wanted to post a little teaser from my session last night . . . . . more to come. So many sessions to post, so little time! But here's one for now . . . .



This shot was a little insane to set up. First, there was hiking in to the location with dress and gear. Then super slow shutter, manually focused because it was too dark to see, flash in the water with assistant . . . you get the idea! Still, it's all worth it when it turns out!

Bravo Nicole!! this is an awesome shot even when it takes all that effort to get a shot like this one off! So I gather that the assistant is hidden behind the couple?? Is the assistant actually in the water and aiming the light up at the them so that they are highlighted?? Do mind telling how slow the shutter speed was? I'm guessing not extremely slow or otherwise the couple would be a tiny bit blurry just from their natural movement.

Wow, talk about "motivation" - You should use that picture in your future workshops as an example of motivation.
