Had the opportunity to shoot two seniors on the great wall this week. Here are a few shots from our time on the wall. More can be found on my flickr site just click through to see them.

3. Ok This was a shot I needed a ladder for but did not have one.(Already lugging my gear up along with changes of clothes to the top of the wall so to bring additional equipment would be out of the question) He is sitting on top of the wall and I was standing on the wall so I just had to hold the camera over my head and shoot blind. I was amazed that I got it on the right spot shooting at 2.8 but really it needs a little more room underneath him I know. I still love the mountains behind him.

other than him picking out the wrong socks the shots look good. Wardrobe mistakes irk me haha. Really like 4 and 5 though. The Great Wall would be a cool location to shoot at.

Two More that I really liked very similar not sure which I like better. It took two 430EXII to overpower the sun in these.

The pose in 4 is awkward; other than that, the whole series is soooo awesome. Such a great location!

Jack I agree about the pose in 4 he was uncomfortable posing in front of the camera and we were rushed so I took two shots like this and then just gave up on it as he was not understanding my direction and we were losing light and time to shoot so just move on.

Thanks for the comments guys.
