Description
Hello all!
WE have been having a terrible heat wave here in Southern California. The guy at the gas station showed me a picture of the reading the other day 120 degrees at one point ..!!... like an oven outside!! So what to do?..
GO with the girls ice skating LOL!!.. ( there is a huge rink a few miles from my home ).
WOW! it was definatly COOL in there . Real cool - yep even needed a sweater infact!!...what a way to beat the heat!!...
.I skated too! hehe weeee... it was fun!!
Before I did, I looked around for something to shoot. IT was the ordinary crowd - kids in blue jeans and t-shirts. Nothing much out of the ordinary. SO I walked up stairs to the upper level snack bar locker area to shoot down from above. I thought I could get a good pov looking down . BUt then something caught my eye to the right . Light was pouring in from the upstairs window, And then there she was in her sparkaly outfit so pretty !!... I asked if I could shoot her with my little nikon 7900 . (The great thing about that cam is no one feels threatened i just look like a mom who is overly camera happy ( lol haha actually Thats me!! ) ... and she continued to pose practicing all that she had just learned in her summer session - with her sweater on- no heat wave in there lol!!... I liked this shot for her pose it reminded me of a beautiful ballerina and felt it was lucky as I only took a couple quick shots real quickly up there..!!
* looks best a full size thanks *
Thank you for all your time and comments!
Love to you all!,
((( BIg Hugs )))

Great lighting! The pose is wonderful too! Maybe I should go cool off there after the dozen heat stories I have been covering!!
She looks like prima balerina, The lightning is great, contrast between hot air outside and cool ice on the arena. I like it a lot! Have a great day!
She looks very talented. Excellent shot. Aloha
Spectacoular my Dear!!!!Bravissima!V:DDD.Hugsxx
You really have a great eye for opportunity! This is a wonderful shot, so well composed, she looks so statuesque. Your framing is perfect, matching the exterior framing of the windows....the arena may want this for display.
Oh what a wonderful indoor photography! The view and light setting aginst the bright huge window on the background looks marvellous! You got her just at the right moment! What an elegant looking scene! I love the cool atmosphere here even if I can see that it's very hot and dry outside! Thanks for this fascinating posting! Bravo!!!
Excellent photo, very good use of backlight !
What a fantastic shoot of this graceful dancer smile Love the siluet against that big window! Fantastic composition sweetie!!!! Excellente!!! Hugs C
Very beautiful back-light. The skater which one guesses elegant the sihouette, is well located on your stereotype, because you prevented that the external light, does not come to destroy this back-light! In more you were spoiled by a gracious mode which can take the installation
Fantastic shot Kimmie :o) Perfect capture. Dziewczyna wyglada znakomicie na tel okien. Zgadzam sie ze Slawa, ze wyglada jak primabalerina :o)) Excellent :o)))) Hugs Marcin
A wonderful composition with a beautiful pose, well done!!
What can I say,it is a fantastic short,congratulation erland
You take better pictures with your "little nikon" than most professional photographers do. Absolutely amazing capture, perfect lighting!
brilliant composition
excellent image, love this sillouette, glad you had a cool aftenoon:):):)
Excellent capture Kimmers! Love this silohuette!!! Perfection!
Part of a great shot comes from the equipment, but mostly it comes from finding the opportunity. You have proved that it's not just your great camera, but your great eye. Wonderful shot.
Fantastic backlight of great beauty...!!! I love the dance......!!!! Wonderful work my friend....!!!
Elegant beauty! All I like is there...excellent shot, my dear!!!!
revised comment. :o)b Hi Kim, good morning! I was studying this trying to figure out if it was a real person ....or a statue...LOL...then I noticed the SKATES! Ha Ha...I thought it was a museum piece! The comp of this shot is perfect! The way the architecture frames her is like a well wrapped present. (This is the conclusion I came to while looking at it in my favs) STILL hard to think of cold and sweaters and ICE when it's so hot outside! Thanks for the cooler. :o)b
What a wonderful shot Kimmie!!!! She looks wonderful and her pose is so superb!!!!! You are always right time, right place!!! You are fantastic, Kimmie!!! Hugs Ute
Wonderful! And fun :) I carry a camera around with me now but I hesitate to ask for shots like that... where you are a mother with a camera, I may appear as an old perve. lol Well done.
Fantastic silhouette !! Great compo!!! Bravo Kimarie!!!!Have a wonderful day!!!
A cute pic and a fun story! :0)
Beautiful shot Kimmers!! Such an elegant young lady, all her summer practise is paying off. Gorgeous feeling you have captured too. So well done :-) Huge hugs to you all. Di.
Excellent pic and postwork!!!!!!!!! Wish I was there..... indoors not out!! LOL ;p
Beautiful. Love the silhouette against the pretty blue light. Excellent. +++
Fantastic shot Kimmers ... that's one way to escape the heat. And I love your chutzpah asking complete strangers to take their pictures. I've never been able to do that ... and YOU can!!! What wonderful lighting and a great pose in that light. Super kudos!!! *****
WOW!! ENCORE! ENCORE!
So graceful. Beautiful capture, Kimmers!
