San Miguel Day 6 - October 18

This being our last day in San Miguel, we went out to shoot first thing in the morning. Breakfast at the hotel was moved up to 7:30 as we were out the door at 8:00. The location was a lot closer than most of the others that we used, taking about 20 minutes by car to reach. We had some of the same models/dancers again today. We only had four models so some of the teams consisted of three participants, but I was glad that I got to work with just Virginia again. Our model today was Denise, who had been with our group previously but neither of us had photographed her before.
This was to be a vertically oriented shot that could serve as a magazine cover (so we had to leave room for copy someplace on the page). The following are the two images I submitted for the critique session.

From the week's submissions the instructors chose photos to include in the end of the workshop slide show. In a few days I expect to receive an email with a link to that slide show and will post it here. It was quite interesting to see the differences in the photographs taken by both workshop's participant and the different approaches taken by those within each workshop. All in all I would say this was definitely worthwhile and I learned a lot. Not that I have been turned into a professional photographer by any means but I have had the opportunity to try some advanced techniques under the tutelage of one of the world's best and have been inspired to continue to experiment and learn on my own.
