Summer here in the Carolinas always heralds fields of golden sunflowers….
This year because of the lack of rain the fields are about half the height they were 12 months ago, but beautiful nonetheless… and definitely worth another early (6am) jump out of bed day to catch the wonderful morning light!
This Sunday saw DH and I make a mad dash across to the Carolina Coast for a little photography… Bright blue sunny skies graced the world on one side and then on the other side of the island, massive thunderheads brewed up above… Our main objective for going was to grab the opportunity to do a dawn beach shoot with a fine art nude model… images below – please note, they contain nudity!! Getting the beach to ourselves meant an early rise of 0430am…. followed by a half hour drive to our location… Busy times have been had over the last few weeks, teaching in California with Karen Burns and then heading across the pond to host a Fine Art Nude in the UK with Joan Blease. Beginning with the lovely Fredau Wallace…. both in the Studio and on location at Crosby. Then a touch of serendipity allowed me the chance to work with “Ivory Flame” – something I have wanted to do for quite a while and turned out to be quite the fabulous shoot…. And tonight I’ve played with a couple of images in Corel Painter that were shot at a Medieval Faire at Tatton Park. That’s about it for now and I hope the next post won’t be quite the same age in coming your way….. Karen Burns and I would like to thank all our wonderful students for participating in our workshop these past 4 days at Donner Lake, CA. A super delicious part of the world indeed! |
