Nicole putting on a clinic for us photographers
A friend of mine organized this shoot - it was scheduled to be something like 5 shooters and 10 models. The shoot was at Celebration Park, about an hour south of Boise, close to the town of Melba, ID, out in the middle of nowhere. It's a good place for sunsets, however, when we were there it was gray, overcast, and spitting rain. No big deal, except almost all the models ghosted us. I hate that. We ended up with 5 shooters and 2 models.
On the plus side I had a chance to spent more time shooting with Nicole. This was her last evening around before heading home. My camera absolutely loves shooting with her. With so many photographers shooting her I tried different things - no flash, on camera flash, off camera flash - just playing around.
The variable that we hadn't planned on was the weather. It was overcast most of the time, with some drizzle. Then a few minutes before sunset the sun broke out of the clouds and we had amazing skies - wow! We shot as much as we could but it only lasted about 10 minutes. After that hordes (literally) of gnats and other flying bugs came out en masse and we all made a mad dash to our cars - quite a sight, running uphill carrying bags of gear while trying not to breath in bugs - what a miserable ending but shooting with Nicole made it worthwhile. We miss her already!
