OK... I really must agree. It appears to me that this snow day was definitely NOT wasted!
And seriously, I am intrigued. By her face! She is very attractive and captivating. I would love to see her in a spooky New Orleans cemetery scene. She has a real Voodoo look about her in this image!
Great work!
I'm so booking tickets to N.O. now. When we're going?
LOL! We could stop in and see cayenne make another cooking video while we all drink together! 8)

Today's test shoot.
Straight OOC (barrel distortion corrected), no cropping, no white balance correction, no retouch... nothing.
Apparently my lens doesn't read CR and it isn't aware of its flaws so the quality is still amazing, considering that my current mobile phone has more mpix than this over 10 year old Canon camera design.

Although it's a fairly 'stock' photo, I still think it looks great Pookie. It's well executed and although I don't have much experience with this type of shot, I suspect the lighting is harder than it looks in this scenario. Did you have a flash hidden behind her firing upwards inside/under the dark overhang/background area? Neat umbrella. Strong contrast, saturation and blacks. And of course you have the complimentary colors. Textbook shot, eh? It should make a great image for print!

Yea, it is quite commercial but that was what was requested. The lighting was a little tricky as it was in a fairly decent rain this Sunday. There is a larger 6'x6' white reflector on the other side of the road where I am and a Quadra into a BD socked to the right to fill the shadows. The trick was balancing it all so it didn't look too strobed. The major PITA was in pouring rain... 5D3's soaked to the bone along with the 70-200 II. The large reflector was open to the elements but heavily sandbagged. The Quadra was wrapped tightly in a clear 50gal garbage bag. Danielle was a trooper though and even went in a tank top for some soaked girl looks after we got the shots we needed.
The umbrella... funny, bought it in the UK and it cost a mint. Every review I've seen of it comes from photographers, not actual people in need of rain gear

At the risk of upsetting an uneasy truce, if the point was the heavy rain why is there no backlight to illuminate it?
Not being critical, just asking a genuine question.............

This was not a "rain" shoot per se. The client wanted wintery looks for a clothing catalogue; sweaters, jeans, tops. We dealt with what we had as the MUAH and crew was there & ready. We were supposed to shoot on the beach and work on lifestyle images for the clients website but the planned site was a no-go. I had scouted this bus stop weeks before so I knew we could at least get a few shots before calling it a day. The umbrella is just part of my personal props I bring to every site JIC. Lemonade from lemons... We are rescheduled for a do-over in a couple of weeks.
