I think my wife now thinks that I am officially crazy. You would think that after 15 years of marriage, she would have figured that out long ago, but I digress. I got up early yesterday and wondered around with my camera in the bitter (-5 w/ wind chill) weather. I loved the light and what it was doing and to be honest, I wanted to take advantage of it.
When I looked over into my neighbors backyard, I saw this hay bale. I knew 2 things when I saw it: 1) It had to be a BW shot and 2) I wanted the viewer to feel the cold. I love the texture of it. How you can see what it looks and feels like and, to me at least, it sure does look cold.
This afternoon I am driving over to Athens (about 2 hours away) to do an outdoor fashion shoot. Let’s hope that the wind is not too nasty for us. I, of course, will post the results later in the week.
And one shot from my son. I loved what he did here. No PS magic, he just turned the camera upside down. And it works so well (at least to his Dad!).
