This was the winning entry for the New Zealand Montana Wearable Arts

award in 19-99 Comments and critiques welcome as always

Fantastic colouration, made more so by the contrasting background. Timing is always a factor when producing a great shot such as this, well done.

That is a fine shot! You must have been quite close if you used a 24mm lens. What film speed were you using? As mentioned the timing is excellent.

The models were on long catwalk Colin, and at that time the credentialed photographers were allowed to roam along the side of it as long as they kept moving, so as not to obstruct the veiw of the audience. Yes, she was only a few feet away. 800 Fuji Press which is a very versatile film with quite fine grain for the speed rating. We used it at a 640 asa setting for most purpose's. Camera mounted flash for this pic as well, the excellent Nikon SB26 TTL. Thanks for the comment!

Thanks Erin. A good mix of flash and ambient light.

You need to let more space on top and down

Nice capture. It's a shame about the lights on the top right corner.

A very, very good capture. Not an easy shot under the circumstances. Legs could use some burning in, if possible. (Not a big problem; only a tweek problem.)

Thanks for all the comments. Alex, the "Dragonfish'

is wearing white full length stockings, I have burned them in a bit already.
