Great series Dave, thanks for posting these!
Talk about Glen getting a 'leg over' in the third shot...does she look a)surprised b)excited or c)terrified?

Wowsers, that's some fancy stuff..

My pleasure Geoff

My pick is d) All of the above

This is a very useful set of pics. We now await the efforts of the lads to appear.
Looks like you all had fun at any rate.
I think glen needs a longer lense
Regards Colin

Thanks for posting these, never seen a model shoot before.

Candy: Respect. That is one brave lady. Keeping emotional control under these circumstances must be a real challenge.

Excellent series of shots here but it raised one point in my mind.

To be able to control the model it has to be one-on-one. When there is more than one person shooting at the same time it is impossible to control the model for an individual shooter so the shots will have a disparate empathy.

Great point Sirhc,

To get around this we agreed that each person got 5 minutes at a time directing the model - others were taking photos but only one directing.

Looks like heaps of fun you guys had!!

Love #3...

Dave, you've got some big blown highlights in the 2nd image...both left and right

so looks like it was a success geoff?

Dave,

Careful of the spoonerisms here.

Gold Chris.

I believe that Photoshop CS4 will have a special filter to remove inadvertant disparate empathy.

Damn. so jealous that I couldn't make it. Obviously it was heaps of fun.. Those lighting looks damn soft...

that 3rd shot is great shows everyone is getting in on it
exposure is good too for available light shooting

Could I confirm that it was continuous lighting?

Nope - all flash - the lights were on optical triggers which is why they went off in these shots

One might think that shot #2 is a group of people looking at pornography

All photography is done with available light.

All of the photos in this thread were made with available flash lighting.

Is it pretty dark when the flashes aren't going off??

Not really, It looks a lot darker in the pics than it really was. I took a couple of shots without the flashes and the camera wanted 1/60 at F/1.4, ISO1000 (in Av mode).
