Sunburst!

My beautiful and very obliging underwater model let me practice the sunburst shot with slave strobe lighting up her face. It is a very difficult shot. 1) I need to orient myself so that her body is blocking the sun, but the sun ray is visible around her. 2) The angle of the slave strobe must be perfect - it needs to be angled so that it is triggered by my strobe, but at the same time it needs to light the subject. I think it took over 10 shots to make it work… and, yes, she is holding her breath for the shot. You can see in her expression that she is losing her patience… lol
