thanks for the comment
yeah these people have the best bodies although muscle tone is much more exentuated with side lighting
i was using my 80-200 AFD mostly at 80mm
last one is shot right at the back of the theatre and that projection on the veil is really amazing in real life it's a 3d scan of a couple and it disseminates into particles in animation.

Wendell,

That last image is just wonderful. Masterful control of the light, wonderful imagination displayed on the creation of the concept, and elegantly completed.

This is just a wonderful example of getting it in the camera.

what i'm stunned about is you keep thinking, keep surprising, keep astounding us. the last image reminds me very much of the mcnally google authors lecture i have had bookmarked for ages, (and watched upteen times). stuff he shows where people say "cool photoshop" only to be told, it was done that way in camera.

this is just superb work.
