I wanted to do a rooftop shoot and Sofia was down for that. I'm not the super daring type so we never got too close the the edge. All I really wanted was to have her in a strong pose against a sky background. Tell me what you think!
I really enjoy creating something different with drones. I've had the Mavic now for about four weeks and I absolutely love it.
This is a water reservoir for the city of Curitiba, Brazil
Here are a couple long exposure shots using my original 50 year old Minolta SR-T201 and kit lens shooting Fujifilm Neopan Acros 100 II. Both images were taken just at the end of blue hour.
These are views of trees in Urubici, and of Fortaleza canyon in the south of Brazil

Hi Hector. A great frame indeed. I always like the tonality of your work.
So far the reason of this frame in not clear. For this interaction am taking it as an Art frame. For my learning, I debated with self if the subject shall be in the centre or could be a little wider to include the context as well.
For me, your decision of processing the model in grayer tone than the surrounding too is interesting.
Thanks.
Vijay, thank you for your insight. In general my images lean more toward fashion images rather than art and therefore are cropped to focus attention on the model's wardrobe. In this case I used the triangle crop overlay to place the subject in the frame. In terms of toning. the Sofia is very tan and was almost side lit by the sun. Both those factors make her darker than the surroundings.
Thanks
Why black and white?
I just thought it was striking. It shows off her tan as well. I also noticed I rarely see off camera flash images posted in B&W so I partly wanted to be a little different.
It's a very nice shot. The lighting was done very well. Surprised that you wanted B&W for an image with the blue sky as such a prominent backdrop
Thank you! I didn't plan a B&W shot but I thought it was striking.
I think the addition of color to this image could distract from the strong graphical features present in the image. It's a compelling B&W because of those strong lines everywhere (on the model).
Thank you! Sofia is an expert at creating lines and curves.
