Flashdance in an Austin alley

Right up front, I am not 100% pleased with this shot and will be redoing it soon. I wnated to do it in my friends studio, but he wasn't crazy about having 15 gallons of water racing around his studio floor and I can understand that!! I needed to get a little more light on the water itself to get those splashes to really sparkle. The model, however, is absoulutley fearless!!!

What was the shutter speed? Looks as though it was a bit too slow

Hey Phil, it was good to see ya! Oh, So that was the one you mentioned! That's awesome. She must be pretty brave to agree to that! Looks like fun though!!

I'd like to see a sequence of shots, too. Now that she's gone through the water torture at least once, I bet she'll have some interesting facial expressions.

Plus, maybe you'll be able to find a better setting with a cleaner background and better light ... shade?

I remember reading about how they shot that scene. The actress ended up with a bunch of water up her nose (forcefully) because her head was so far back.

Looks like you're not recreating THAT part. :)
