Thanks Steve, thanks for commenting. Odd is good! That's what fashion is all
about!

I should add for everyone else's benefit, that despite me loving my
weddings, my long term goal is to shoot fashion, so I need to do this kind
of weird stuff to keep my hand in, so to speak.

I was amazed at how well the effect of the white balance worked to mimic
cross-processing.  In fact, it worked even better than cross-processing.
That shot was straight out of camera - meaning no magenta bleed, do yellow
colour cast, just high contrast (courtesy of over exposure), high saturation
(again, over exposure), and mismatched white balance.

Although there are many problems with, and fixes that could be made to this
series of shots, I really had so much fun producing them (even the risque
ones that you are all talking about, don't think I don't know that you've
seen them! ;-) and if you didn't, well, sorry, I took them down after they'd
been "discovered", courtesy of the bloody tech head computer hacks you all
are...), and really felt that I had "learned" something by the end of the
session.

of nod...)

Hey Tan,

It's got to be tough to be your own model.  I'm frankly amazed at how
well they came out given that you couldn't use the viewfinder.
(Definitely a GFM influence).  I particularly like 5125bw,5193bw, 5095,
and 5098.  The one with the shifted, saturated colors is odd but very
striking.
