Hi all!
Just some shots from yesterday's 2022 NYC Bodypainting Day. Because of the extreme heat (the mid-90s) and bad light of the midday sun, the organizers used canopies to provide shade and a protective area for the artists and their models to work; all this was surrounded by barriers used by police to separate spectators from the participants.
Under the canopies, the results were more problematic: "open shade" light, flat in contrast and colors, bluish in nature and difficult to photograph the models and artists. I had to circle around 4 or 5 times to shoot and squeeze in between the spectators with cell phones. I only stayed for 20 minutes. "Mad dogs and Englishmen...and crazy photographers in the midday sun!" I used a 12 MP Nikon D3, 28-300mm F3.5 Nikkor, set to "ISO sensitivity," allowing the ISO to range from 400 to 1600 and "Picture Control" set to "Neutral, +1 contrast and +1 saturation." Luckily I was able to grab a few decent shots after editing them!
Be well! Ed

Well, these shots prove that some people should just not be seen naked in public!
The photography is fine.
Bigger bodies, bigger canvases!

Exactly what I was thinking
Nice set. I would have looked for better subjects, I think. That's just me, though.
What a fun day. Well done! I envy you.

How much beer was involved? - that's what I would like to know. I think this must be like going to a nude beach in Europe - great expectations, but then... meh.
