*blush* Thanks, Billy. I've really been kicking my own butt to make these good. My biggest fear now is that Langdon will call a SP challenge right after we finish these (like he did last time) and I will be totally out of decent ideas! lol

Seriously though, I've been going through magazines & websites like mad lately to get different fresh ideas for posing, lighting, etc. I never seem to use what I get inspired by, instead I end up heading off my own direction, but its a great way to get the creative juice flowing. Its been a great study for me.

Crystal My studio gets kinda hot so I always have a fan or two on, in this shot I turned both fans toward me. And I am wearing panties, you just can't see them from that angle... cause.. uhm... anyway..... Let's hope JP doesn't do anything scary! :P

lol. I just realized i completely left the word 'you' out of that comment. whoops. Just regular like occilating type stand up fans? I always wondered if they had enough power for some good movement.

Actually no, the stand up ocilating fan doesn't have enough power to really move the hair about (tried & learned). I have one of those. The one that's really moving my hair is one of those round "hurricane" fans like you see in a garage - they sit on the floor. The one I have cost about $25 and is plastic, but has LOTS of power. You can buy much larger metal ones that would almost blow a person out of the room! heheee
One cautionary note: Turning a fan to blow toward a paper backdrop is a bad idea, you get wrinkles! :)

Thats good to know. and cool that a powerful enough fan is only 25.00! I've never priced them. I need longer hair though. I'd love to do a shot like gaby_G's lady of the lake.
