Arctic: Thanksgiving Shoot

Nikki · 11-25-2005, 10:38 AM

I'm not really satisfied with these shots mainly because I was rushing them.
It really makes you lose your focus and steadiness. All of my other shoots I've posted I have taken alone, but this one there were other people around, I was trying to catch the sun as it was going down, and it was Thanksgiving and we had to be back to the house shortly to meet some people.
If I could do it all again I would have just went alone and took my time. The background (7 story garage in Ft. Lauderdale) was beautiful, so maybe I will go back soon. The other pictures were taken in front of a mall in Ft. Lauderdale.

Awesome pics nikki... If you can, post some full res pics... Maybe as a zip file

bavarian19 · 11-25-2005, 12:26 PM

Also, do you have the HID fogs? In the one pic with your halos on, it looks like they are HID....

Nope, they're stock.
I'll post full size images later. I don't have winzip, only winrar and it doesn't look like I can attach .rar here so I'll just have to attach all of the images.

Here is one for now

LEDZEP · 11-25-2005, 02:18 PM

Nikki - very nice as always! I like the last one best, nice holiday shot and perfect exposure.
