Jumping the sun.

Well, if the cow jumped over the moon..... what about the Sun? :-)

I very much like this shot nomad! Very interesting. I like that the girl is sharp and her limbs contrast beautifully against the sky. This looks like some advanced off camera flash on the model - nice. My only nit is the green flare. I'd clone that sucker out in a heartbeat.

Thanks Marko!
Yes this was indeed an advanced shot. Not an easy shot to do. I used a 1.2 Meter softbox, a 300Ws studio strobe and a Honda 1000W Generator on the beach. What you don't see is the audience of 17 people standing behind the camera wondering what I was doing and looking at me like I was crazy and doing something illegal. :-)
Anyway, This shot is my very own version of Joe McNally's Ballerina at the beach. I saw that shot and was so inspired by it, I just had to go out and make my own. I'll work on removing that flare. :-)

How about now?

Great stuff, Nomad, and yes, much better sans green. I desperately want to learn to use a flash properly . . .

[Marko]

Stunning image. Removing the green spot worked well. I can not say anything else except that I am jealous *LOL*

I can't really say anything new but I have to jump up and say "Wow!" Great shot!
