They're fantastic, Ali! I really love the first one...it could almost be something from sea world.

Did you use a tripod? I really need to get one. I think I'll put it on my Chrismas list :)

I have a photo shoot coming up this week....a friend who is 7 months pregnant wants some arty naked shots...she's giving one to her husband for Christmas. It could be difficult as I have no backdrops, lighting or anything else, so I think I'll have to improvise. Any suggestions are more than welcome :)

Hope you're feeling ok...been thinking about you. x

Mike said...

They're all great but the first picture is fantastic.

Miss U, Why doesn't anybody ever ask me to photograph them naked?

IT Barman said...

Great pics Ali and have to agree the first one was awesome

Elaine Denning said...

Mike - If you can get down here for thursday afternoon, I could do with a hand...and I'm sure she wouldn't mind a bit!

I am with the others ... they all rock but the first one boulders. Makes me think is was taken behind a feathery alien plant. Long exposure?

Ali said...

Aww, thx guys for your positive comments, as always.

Laney, I'm jealous, I wish someone would give me the chance to do some arty nude shots.

George, I don't normally put the technical bit up, most people think it's boring, but just for you honey:

Tripod mounted and camera set on 'bulb'
Lens - 50mm fixed
ISO - 100
AV - f5.6
TV - 1 sec

Hugs to you all. I'm doing OK, am still lurking even though I don't often write. x

Ali - you're fantastic! I'm afraid I hide away from big bangs as I hate noise - no chance of me ever taking any photo's of fireworks.

kml said...

Cracking photos really crisp

Gina said...

Oh my goodness, I've never seen such beautiful photos of fireworks before - it was a freezeframe of awe! It's interesting to see them like this, still, since in real life they would fall too quickly to ever really get a long hard good look at them. Lovely images.

Unknown said...

Great shots, glad to see you're OK,
keep that recovery going!

Kristi said...

Wow, really nice captures--especially the top photo. Now that's wild.

Hope you're doing well.
