Those are awesome! I would love to know what your camera settings were. Very nice!

Nice shots. The first almost looks like the background is a back drop placed there. Excellent!

I'm in the 1st shot, the taller guy. The cam was set on timer.
The cam was still set on timer on the 2nd shot because i was the lights man at the same time. lol

I love the brightness and the detail presnt in the backgorund in the first shot, and the pop between the background and the subjects in the second shot is awesome! great shots!

[lyacadajar]

Thank you Howland, barefootpoetry, and lyacadajar!

We were taking a break from a video shoot for a school's audio visual presentation at the time these were taken and it was more of a trial and error thing till I got to the two decent shots. It was fun all the way! The little orbs you see on the 1st shot is actually due to the rain that got to my lens since it was drizzling a bit (my cam getting wet got me worried but it was a now or never thing to do cuz i won't have access to this helipad next time, hehehe).

The 2nd shot (now with the lens wiped dry) was taken after the rain when a few friends of mine (the ladies in the 2nd shot) saw the 1st photo and just basically got jealous and wanted their photos taken up there too.

I'm glad you like them.
