Sharing the photos from my second outdoor shoot, all still taken within no more than five hundred feet of my living room and some much closer. I think this set is much better than my first in the sandbox, and again, I welcome any comment or critiques. I still don't particularly enjoy shooting outdoors, but it does open up possibilities you won't likely have shooting indoors.

Kamiko navigates the jungle at the edge of my building's parking lot.

I actually had to lie with my leg in a puddle in the parking lot to get this shot. In retrospect, I should have placed the figure a few feet more to camera right.

I changed the color balance on this one to warm it up a bit from the blah, overcast day color of the original file.

I thought the juniper bush might look a bit like a bonsai tree at this scale. What do you think?

Kamiko spots something suspicious and calls a halt to observe.

I had not previously noted until today that the park across the street from me had a stone retaining wall full of large rocks with a high iron oxide content, and suddenly, the patrol is back in the New Mexico desert. Miyori takes stock of the situation. I balance this and the other images in this set for daylight, again because of the blahness of the overcast sky today.

Upon reflection, I should have pulled that weed at camera left out before taking the shot.

This is pretty much my favorite shot of the series. What do you think of it?

I should have pulled a few more weeds out before taking this shot as well. Oh well, live and learn. I'll do better next time.
