Arse-kicked by trees.

I have had my backside kicked by trees this evening. I’ve been doing some location scouting for the oft-postponed, never properly scheduled woodland shoot that I started planning months back and never got around to actually shooting. Let me tell you, woodland in summer, even late summer, is a lot harder to shoot in than [...]

Yeah, I got my arse kicked by the sun, as I've said before, but I learned a bunch of things, too, so it worked out well. Next time I won't let the sun beat me.

Slideshow after the fold. Hope you like 'em.

Hell and Sunshine

Yesterday I did my second ever proper photoshoot (the first one having been at Allhands with Michelle). This time I was doing some family portraiture of a friend's daughters, one a very precocious nine-year-old and the other having just turned one.
