Wanda03_18_05a.jpg

We had a wonderful afternoon climbing on rocks and just playing in a canyon not far from home. I have been hiking, fishing and hunting in this canyon for 35 years. I never noticed this little stone building before. It made a great setting for some photos. We'll need to go back later in the spring when it is a little greener.

This one could also have been the PAD and a better view of the little building

This was a fun day! I got to go out and "play" in the canyon while Bill took pictures. He managed to capture a couple of cute ones if I do say so Myself. I really enjoyed playing "peek-a-boo" around the doorframe of that cute little stone shed.

Beautiful photo, I love the stone building and Wanda's pose and expression. The canyon must be a great place to explore :o)

This was strictly natural light. We were fortunate to have a thin cloud layer to diffuse the light nicely. Where this was shot was in total shade from the cliff the little building uses as its back wall. The canyon here is very narrow most of the light is being reflected from the cliffs on the opposite canyon wall. We really had mother natures version of a huge soft box.

Great shot you two. This might be Wanda's best smile. Great light and soft shadow on her cheek. It almost looks like you took a softbox out there, from the light in her eyes. Nice location too.

First the eyes, then the smile, then the expression, the hair... the image caught you step by step, congrats to you and to the model.

Like the homely organic feel to this. Very nice indeed.

The first thing about this photo that caught my eye...was the way the light is reflecting off of Wanda's eyes...Excellent capture.
