Water Hair, water-mohawk

Part 3 of our vacation began today... we flew to Waikiki and will be here for five sleeps and then reality will return. We ventured to the beach and I bribed my daughter with cheesecake if she's flick her hair for me.

I made this collage using this shot...

I have ALWAYS loved these types of pic! Tell me what your settings were! No, I don't have long locks like your girl but, just in case! HAHAH! FAVIN IT!

[jenny tucker]

omg this turned out great....and thank goodness for child labor, right..? lol - - i love how you have captured the water arching - - a fav!

[Aleksandra]

Brilliant shot! Love the look on her face, I assume its harder than it looks to flick hair quite that long!

[cheryl]

I love this!! Great shot!

@sticksandstones

Thanks for your comments and fav's. I love doing these types of shots. I always have a fast shutter speed. I lock focus (just hold it down ready after it auto focuses) while she's standing still, then count her down from 3, then push the button and shoot several shots in succession.

@aleksandra She's getting pretty good at it but I'm sure it's not easy. I have really short hair so I can't speak from experience.

[Kerri]

Cool

Enjoy your vacation. I laugh that you say sleeps for the length of your vacation as my sister calls them sleepies. Great freeze action.

[ladyjane]

Nicely captured! She looks like she's got the most awesome mohawk.

[Karen]

Great effect Kim. Not sure how you captured the hair all spiked up like that. You may recall the one I posted in October, but it didnt have this effect. Enjoy those five sleeps...just a little jealous...and Happy New Year.

[☠northy]

what an awesome fun shot!

[KWind]

@dreams I just looked at your similar shot...it's great. I'm not sure how her hair went like this, she just flicked it.

[Sandra]

Awesome! Love the tones in the shot. Did you visit the Cheesecake Factory? I love the chocolate peanut butter cheesecake. Diet-friendly, I'm sure!

[KWind]

@cmc1200 Yes, we went there our first night and had the cheesecake you mentioned...yummy!!

Love these hair shots. I have never been able to capture one. It really does look like a mohawk.
