Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and cauldron bubble.
We were shooting some yesterday, she was beating the heat, I was fighting boredom. I find getting her in front of my lens is a good way to accomplish this. Moving in and out of the water is always a tad more photogenic than just pics of swimming and so most of our pictures involved the ladder.
I did try my hand at capturing her bouncing up and down in the water. Flat-footed the water is chest-deep. I was shooting in manual with a fill flash so exposures had to stay under 1/160. These were shot at 1/80 which does nothing to stop motion, but I tried to capture her at apogee so she was moving neither up nor down. The few images that were fairly successful at this made the water turbulence a bit mysterious, sort of boiling. The real trick was keeping the hair dry for all of the images and still getting some exuberance in the motion.

It appears you were successful in killing the boredom. A pleasure to see your beautiful model today, with her captivating blue eyes, gorgeous hair, infectious smile, and the water glistening on her skin. You did a fine job of stopping the action, even with the longer exposure time. I prefer the color images to the black and white, they really sparkle, and you have also captured the wave artistically. It seems the photo of her on the ladder was taken before the fun began, judging from her dry skin. She is truly a beautiful young lady, and you are one fortunate gentleman to be constantly in her company!

Chlorine and iron in water will turn many dyed hair a lighter shade of pale. Green.

Think they are all great and the pool looks inviting. But, if I have to pick one the second black and white would be my choice.

I like your color photos much more than the B&W's.
I just love how her blue eyes pop, and the red-hair...
not to mention her other wonderful attributes.Tom
