This is more about my photography journey than style today.
As I was finishing my morning walk (during which I snuck 5 short instances of jogging on my new hip, shhhh) I went into the woods across from my house to scout possible locations. As it was raining, I did the shoot in my workout gear, none of which is notable except that the Avalanche green fleece was a Christmas gift from my dear friend across the street and her 9 year old son proudly announced he had chosen the color! And so I love it.
Here is the result. Biggest lesson - take the camera off of Auto Focus in the woods, or you will be blurry but the tinniest leaves on the thinnest branches behind you will be in focus, which I demonstrate in the last photo!
It took 36 shots to get about 5 good ones. I cropped #3 and 4, but left the rest alone to give perspective.
By the way, I live in a suburban neighborhood where the houses are close together. But we are really lucky to have this large patch of woods preserved right across the street. Most houses just look at the house next door.
Not sure I'll trek into the woods in high heels, but now I have a good idea about camera distance and, of course, manual focus!
Off to return things to Rack. Hope everyone is having a great Saturday.
