I’m trying out a few new filters and some HDR to see if I can bring out some details and add some pizazz.  If you look close you can see a couple of brides and a couple of photographers.

Such a beauty…even when she’s wet.

I love doing a “Trash the Dress” Photo shoot.  In this case we had several models dressed in wedding dresses and formal attire to shoot.

The water was fairly warm which was good for us and great for the models.

..even though sometimes they looked a little cold and uncomfortable.  It was a long day for them.  We had already done 4 hours or so at Empire Mine .  It did feel good to wade around in the water after carting around our equipment over at the mine.

But even after several hours at the mine and several more hours at the Yuba River, the models were gorgeous and fun.

Just before I got in the water with the rest of the photogs, I did thing about the thousands of dollars worth of equipment that hung around our necks.  But, then I shrugged, slapped on my most expensive lens and waded in for the fun.
