I did a photo shoot of my friend, Susan. She came with all kinds of different props such as a flowered wreath for her hair. I supplied the large hat. It was a fun day. I had some beautiful chrysanthemums that added some beauty to the shoot. She also brought her camera which I photographed in low key. All other pictures were shot against a white backdrop and I added textures in Photoshop post processing.
Phinizy Swamp 2017
I met my friend Pat the other day at Phinizy Swamp. She came with her hubby and her grandson, Gabriel. I didn’t think there would be any new pictures to take, since I have been there numerous times, but there is always a new take on a picture. I found myself taking pictures of things I hadn’t done before, or maybe the same thing, but using a different angle to create something original. It’s very nice to visit the same place a few times during the year to get a different perspective.
Betty’s Branch
I went to Betty’s Branch with my friend, Joyce. Betty’s Branch is literally right in her neighborhood and you must be a resident to go and partake in the beauty. There are scenic sites as well as kayaking, paddle boating, and general gorgeous sites to see. We went at dusk, just before a thunderstorm, which we just missed. We could hear thunder in the distance and got back to the car just in time before the sky opened up with pouring rain. Here are a couple of shots.
