Description A triptych of a *very* powerful moment I captured while shooting with Playfulrubberdoll and Curiousmissex. This wasn't "directed" - I had enough trouble getting the camera to behave in the long light conditions to give precise instructions. It was challenging to keep focus under these circumstances

This was shot late May 2012 in Ottawa, on the roof of a parking lot across the street from the Esplanade Laurier. Getting there was an adventure: We had to cross downtown with the two dressed in latex and boots, although the hoods and gasmasks waited for when we reached the top of the roof. As you can sort of see, there are two large office towers with white walls and lights that never seem to go off that shed a lot of light, and I thought it would be an interesting place to shoot - I've been wanting to do this for a while, but circumstances weren't right. But finally, I've made it happen!

edit part deux: to get this to work as a print and have reasonable ratios, I had to add the black bands (visible on the print side, not here... I think?). I still think it would make a kick-ass poster

Shot with a 24 mm canon 1.4/f Latex by Libidex, Latexa

thank you! It actually made editing this more challenging, because while it may be hot to you or I, there still were some more "technical" aspects that had to be fixed (low light, how to arrange the three panels together etc). I spent 3 evenings editing this until I felt it looked "right".

Thank you! I think it's one of the hottest thing I've ever photographed. That being said... I've posted it in a few places, and the response hasn't been overwhelming... ah well.

Well, than I disagree with the response you have gotten so far. I like it very much - please keep up your great work.

I know you said the light was a challenge, but there's a liquid quality to this that's missing from a lot of latex photography; mostly the stuff shot by people without a fetish. Fantastic stuff.

thank you - I think there were three main factors here: First they had just done shining each other up (and with generous amounts of lube). Second, the light there is *fantastic*, if you ignore the "not enough of it" aspect... Lastly, although I had a hard time with focus during this shoot, for this series of shot my hands were steady and the auto-focus cooperating. But the shutter speed was slow, and they were moving, so it adds a bit of motion blur in some spots, adding to the "movement/flow" feel.

cheers!

I really like the picture in the middle, personally. The trio of images adds a small story, as well, so it's pretty nicely done. As usual.
