A treat today -- watching 2 of my doc students who are taking trapeze lessons. @ukandie1 and I spent 2 hours watching them practice flying from the trapeze, practicing movement shots. Processing using Topaz Texture Effects. They were so good, it didn't seem right to have the background be the gymnasium. Also for 52 week theme of faceless portrait this week - not sure it counts as a portrait, but it's faceless and it's (in my mind anyway) a portrait in context.
What an amazing thing to take up... imagine getting up one morning and suddenly, over the breakfast toast, saying - "You know what, I think I'll take up the trapeze!"
@vignouse That's pretty much the way Melanie described it! She's (not pictured here - this is her friend) afraid of height, but just decided one day to do this. They kept trying to talk me into trying it -- even had the instructor involved telling me I should just try it once. EEEK! Not for me!
Great timing! Love your background on this! I only came away with a few half decent shots, but it was great fun trying something different! And breakfast is on me next time!
This is brilliant Taffy and perfect for the faceless portrait. This is more along the lines I was thinking . You get the story even though you cannot see her face.Love it!! Fav! I still haven't worked out how to add one of my own backgrounds in Topaz. This works so well here!!
That sounds exciting- both to do and photograph, although I'm more likely to do the latter at my age! Good shot- and you could send them soaring in a number of places- I think a cloud background would be fun.
