John, you were just 5 posts away from being able to post in "Glamour & Nude". I think that is where your series would get the right attention.
Nice shots BTW. Did you use ambient light only or did you have a whole lighting set up going?

nice

Interesting set up with the light on the edge of the surf - bit risky as well with all that salt water so close to sensitive electronics.... Hope you rinsed your stands. I live very close to the beach and have to keep all metal things oiled otherwise they rust away while I am waitng.

I guess while you were shooting the sky clouded over. Especially in #5, #6 and #7 the ambient light and the light you brought with you is a bit conflicting. The model is well lighted but the surf behind her is dull and greyish. The lighting of the model suggests "sunny day" and the background says: it is getting pretty cloudy.... Especially in #5 and #7 that even gives a bit the idea that you shot against an artificial background. Wonder what others think of this.
In some of the others I notice a crooked horizon, like in #4 and #5 and a bit in #7.

I'm not as good and don't have much to say, but #3, she doesn't have hands. I think they turned out really well though, def magazine material.

Nice shots and gorgeous models. I agree with #3 though, it looks weird with her hands dug into the sand like that. Other than that, great results.

lucky man

She has hands?

I think you did a great job but I do agree it's risky with the lightening so close to the water. I'm glad you posted these here so I could actually comment. I tried to get early admittance to the G&N section, but with no luck. You're lucky you're almost to 500. It seems like it takes forever. Thanks for sharing these. The models are gorgeous.

#3 looks like she is about a second away from bursting onto the scene like the police!

Excellent material and whilst I am in no hurry to get my post count up for g and n, it's nice to be able to offer an opinion for a change.

yeah, i was concerned with the proximity of the VB to the water but i had an assistant close by to scoop it up if the waves got close. and yes, stands are rinsed off.

yeah, i just kept shooting....but once the wave came in, she'd get buried.

i def wouldn't try this set up unless you had an assistant who can grab the lighting at a moments notice.

your opinion is greatly appreciated.

nice.

Great shots. Do you happen to have any information on that particular Octobox? Where I can find, cost, what kind? etc. Appreciate it!
