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!,

terrific capture, love the pose and lighting
Kimmers, "Serendipity" is your middle name! You and your little Nikon really are prepared to take advantage of those little moments that you have a way of finding. Your keen eye is always as alert as your trigger finger! Beautiful photo my friend.
Great capture, pose, contrast and colors...you really captured this one! Give yourself a pat on the back.
And a beautiful shot it was! I always seem worried that people feel awkward when I carry around my camera lol Im glad your happy looking like a mom who is overly camera happy :-)
I'd have taken this for a statue, were it not for the tinge on color on those rollerblades! Aesthetically pleasing! FIVE STARS and added to faves.
WOW! Magnificent shot Kim!!
What a beautiful composition. Wonderful silhouette and colors. A fantastic shot indeed!!! :)
Excellent sillohuette. And special to me as I am formerly an art skater. (see: www.jubchuqun.com/skating). Li
Superbly done ! Bravo !
Reminds me a bit og Balinese Shadow Puppets...fantastic shot...you have a very 'lucky' eye kimmie...keep em coming....
I say, young lady, that's a little bit of alright! Quite a sharp silhouette of the Olympic hopeful. Another winner for Kimsee! You needed a sweater? With an outside temperature of 120F, I'm surprised the ice wasn't all melted inside the rink. Harry the Hugger
So elegant! I really like the visual effect of the silhouette, and the bulls-eye centering of the subject is counterbalanced by the offset arch. Now THAT'S photography!!!!!! You continue to amaze me. Awesome!
A lovely silhouette of a very graceful young lady. Bravo Kimarie!
quick thinking on your part and excellent capture(mothers can be as dangerous as anyone-take Yates in Texas for an example)

The back light is wonderful the whole photo is amazing !
how cool, great shot with light behind image, well done!
soo beautiful and elegant,love the silhouette,an excellent shot Kim*****
Oh, Kim! This is beautiful on so many levels! The color of light as it traverses so many layers of glass, as it reflects off the intricately distressed surface of the rubber floor, as some of it passes through the jewel-red blade guards, as it silhouettes the graceful girl, I'm going to stop now. This is the most beautiful thing I've seen in a long time.
Hahaha, wonderful picture! I especially love the lighting, it turned out just right! =D
Awesome silhouette capture !! I admire the skill in your photography !!~PERFECT~!!
Beaut beaut shot - the best part to me is the glowing skates...
Beautiful capture of light and shadows Kimmers. I guess the best to be is at an ice skating rink in that kind of heat..

Keep carrying that Nikon!
Gorgeous lighting!!
