Saw this interesting images earlier in Flickr Chris. What are these men doing actually. Are the painting the ground or something?

Re-plastering the swimming pool - quite a skill, and amazing to watch them work

 

[Brian Moore]

Great shots, Chris. I imagine the re-plastering will cost a pretty penny. (Mine needs it as well, but I don't want to face that expense. )

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Fantastic images, Chris. Lovely tones, and the comps are wonderful.

 

[Tom Dunne]

Excellent and beautiful Chris. The plasterers look as though they have dressed for the photographs even down to the bands on their hats. Ballet on the pool floor.

 

[Julian de'Courcy]

As said Chris excellent, the second is very humorous, great compositions in both.

 

[Tom Dunne]

It looks as thought they are painting the sky from above.

Tell me about it Brian!

Thanks Rob - would have loved to use the empty pool for a shoot - lovely light and backdrop, but they insisted I put water in it straight away!

Thanks Tom - they had special customized slippers as well, to stop them damaging the new plaster

Thanks Julian

Love the softness and low contrast of these Chris. The composition of the first works especially well I think.

Thanks Pete - the bounced light around the pool was like a big diffuser, with a blue tint of course.

Lovely soft tones Chris...and interesting topic.

I have to tune in on Pete here, but the second one I favour a little more. Honestly, they are great. ( Just a proposal, find a wall and do the same and you have a shooting backdrop ).
