Really nice Cal, thanks for sharing. Like them all but find myself coming back to the 3rd one. Such a provocative expression and pose on the fem. model. Could have been Marilyn Monroe in a different era.

Love the swimming shot on #6 and Your new watermark is AWESOME

Cheers

Cal: I love that swimmer image in B&W - it REALLY conveys strong motion and purpose. Good stuff.

Also - I'm jealous of your underwater brides - wish I could do that too!

Cheers

James

It keeps on getting better and better.

Stunning once again Cal. The B & W swimmer is my favourite.

Stew

Well done Cal!

They are all wonderful Cal, each in their own way. Great variety.

I saw you dressed in a robe on Facebook. Do we have something to celebrate?

Cheers,

Steve

Nice work Dude!

Amazing! Setting up a new box ... to step out of?

Great work Cal.

You've mastered the technique and are now really starting to tell stories.

Fantastic!

Can you share your technique for monochrome? Your blacks are awesomely rich!

Hey Cal

Great photos, I like your watermark and the fact that your finally using one! I like what photo 1 implicates, I wish I would have done the same! Don't tell my wife I said that, please!

Thanks guys!!!

I always appreciate the feedback. These were definantly some of the most interesting and fun shoots ive done in a while.

The first shot is one of my new favourites.

I finally heeded the watermark advice I've been getting

Tim - A few tecniques - the one I most favour is lightroom black. Flip to BW. Adjust black tone and then change the BW from the colour sliders not the tone sliders. takes a bit of practice but it gives you heaps of control

Huge congratulations my friend! Well done.

Very inventive and artistic shots. Congrats!

I found the first three pictures most impressive. I would call them: 'Bridegrooms nightmare' (-:

Cheers

Best, Carol

Thanks!

Wow! That's awesome Cal - great use of CF wideangle - which is really hard to do w/ a person.
