This shot was taken for strobist.blogspot.com’s Boot Camp II, Assignment 1 (http://strobist.blogspot.com/2009/06/boot-camp-ii-first-assignment.html).  As we were taking the "normal" headshots, Suzy commented that she free dives and has free dove to sixty feet!  I can’t even image how one can do that, but needless to say I am very impressed.  That got me thinking…while I am sure when they said in the assignment to "Make it Appropriate" they didn’t quite mean this, I thought what the heck and we headed out to the pool   And yes, in the bottom right corner is a photo of me.  The assignment also required that the model take a photo of the photographer.

Strobist Info: Shot at around 2100 Hours outside in the swimming pool with the pool light on using my Canon 5D Mark II and the new 24mm f/1.4L II lens.  A Canon 580 EX II camera left at approximately 1/16 and an Olympus Flash camera right at approximately 1/32.  Both were shot through 42" Westcott umbrellas.
