This is the second post on my shoot with Dawn at Fort Balance. It includes all the shots taken outside under natural light. This was after we finished the original Catwoman in the headlights mentioned in the previous place.

We moved around the complex which gave us many options to shoot. It also gave Dawn the opportunity to really play into her character.

For these series of images I was using my Nikon Z6ii camera with the 24-70 f4 lens set at f4. It was in aperture priority mode as I was happy to let the camera control the shutter speed. The majority of them seem to be around 1/200s second. Towards the end of the shoot, I did have to push the ISO up to 400. Even then the final images were at 1/50s.

Despite the fact that the fort is nearly a kilometre up a hill it is amazing what people take up there. We found this couch and I just had to use it.

The fort contains many different opportunities for shooting such as ladders that enable you to shoot down from above.

The Walls also gave the opportunity for Dawn to behave like a cat. Anyone who has seen the original Batman series will know that the Catwoman character did do overemphasised cat behaviour.

Anyone who has a cat will know that they like to find comfy nooks in which to sleep. I spotted an alcove complete with a cushion. It was a no-brainer that we were going to use it.  The lighting in this particular area was not the best but my camera easily handled it.

Dawn was a great model. She was really comfortable being in front of the Camera which made the whole process so much easier. It also meant that we got really great images from the session.

Finally when we got back to the car it was time for a selfie shot to add to the series

The 1960s when the original show screened was also the time of the rise of pop art.  Therefore I thought of appropriate to create a version of my own. This went across really well when I posted it.
