I have some more photos I've got to edit, but I'll probably get around it way later in the week.
The beach was beautiful! Seashells everywhere, warm white sand, and reaalllyyy realllyyy cold water.
I got to swim in a tail in the ocean for the first time too!
All in all it was a great spring break. :dance:
Nyx, you have such a lovely tail!
Wow! I absolutely ADORE your fluke shape! Would you mind telling me what monofin you used?Quote:

Nyx you are growing up way too fast lol you are looking so much older >.> (in a good way)
Is that tail fabric or neoprene!? It is fantastic looking and I love the painting job!!!
Coradion, your pecs are fine (as hell).
Nyx, your tail is super gorgeous! Love the fluke shape and the scales! Did you make it yourself?

Thank you! It's actually just a normal wave! I extended it with ducktape and Zip ties thanks to Jadestone's extension technique. I gotta find a new way to go about it though, while the ducktape is awesome and it looks fantastic underwater I'm just too rough with it and it doesn't hold up as well as I'd like. I'm not particularly gentle with my tails no matter how I try (I have advanced butterfingers, I can't hold on to anything).Quote:

Don't mind me. Just rolling to my next spot for a mini beach Photoshoot. Hope this makes someone giggle
So I worked with this local photographer for the first time. He'd barely done underwater work and only with a bag housing which if you've tried them are so frustrating. You often end up with 90% of your photos blurry because bag housings aren't a tight fit and the lenses have trouble focusing through them. But it's hard to tell it's blurry in the display. So anyway.
We brought a backdrop and he brought spotlights. This was a time for print shoot. The results? I think amazing for one of a handful of times doing underwater, and his first doing mermaids! Improvements? yes. But, I paid money for underwater shots before from 'professionals' who make a living doing just underwater and the shots were horrible. This guy trying it out with way less gear, less reliable gear and less expensive gear... did a much better job. I am proud of him.
Now my strongest poses... because honestly in this case 75% came out blurry and the ones that didn't were often more movement and in between shots. I still don't know how to relax my face with braces haha. And I have a bit of tummy roll going on in some. but overall for his first try with mers I think great!

I think the spotlights really made a difference along with our black back drop :) it was a lot to set up but worth it.
I have more from this shoot I'll show when I get them :)
A lot of the stuff from my shoot I'm still waiting on. But I did get back a couple of things..... The mermaid photos were more last-minute impromptu. The initial shoot was supposed to be for a historical costume, but since we were already going to be near the beach for them, we decided to do the mermaid ones to test out the jewelry.
