Noticed that the fields of oilseed were all gittin nice and bright yellow, so I thought to myself, what would compliment a field of bright yellow flowers? I know I thought, My mate Mustang Sals bright red hair! So I said to Sal, “Hey Sal, can I borrow yer hair?” And bless she said I could, but only if she came along to make sure it was ok. I had no problem with that cos she loves to dress up and makes a perfect “frontdrop” to a field of flowers.
Well now this here April has been livin up to its habit of lots of unpredictable showers. One minute its sunshine and t-shirts and then in the blink of an eye its tryin to wash you down the street, or rattle your brains with hail. The one upside is some quite spectacular cloudage all over the place, and the morning we went out looking for a location to have us a little photo shoot that nice man in charge of interesting clouds didn’t let us down. Sal had donned a sort of Gypsy Steampunk get up which was pretty funky, and we had sun (intermittently), we had interesting clouds, we had red hair and we had fields of bright yellow oilseed. GET IN 🙂
We found an excellent location, a track crossroads surrounded by flowering fields on the brow of a hill. I found a ditch, ( regular readers of my blog will know that I have a tendency to fall over/into/under/on top of things) and when I had recovered, realised that it was an excellent vantage for some low angle fun photomatography stuff. And so off we jolly well went. The light kept constantly changing so I was using lots of fill flash to try and keep up. It was loadsa fun and full of sillyness, and we had a great time. Sal isn’t a model, but she’s up for a larf! Some of the best shots were when I got her to yell obscenities at the top of her voice, good job twas in the middle of nowhere, may have offended a passing duck, but HeyHo there you Go 😀
Here’s a few of first the to be processed. Got loads and loads more to be gettin on with, lots of experimenting to do, Thinkin Mono, thinkin textures, thinkin funkyness! Still it keeps me off of the streets!
Fantastic!
Cheers thank you 🙂
Great model! Fantastic skies and clouds and pretty yellow flowers. Can’t wait to see where you take it from here…..
Can’t make my mind up where to start 🙂
Great series of images.
Cheers 🙂
Looking forward to where you go with these.
Yes there are many ideas bouncing around inside my bonce 🙂
I thought i could hear those obscenities out here in New York. These are great fun and Sal was obviously having a good time with it. I really like these and I’d like to see more stuff like this in the future.
Well there should be some more in the old pipeline, cheers 🙂
I’m not usually into people pics, but I really like those, I love the colours 🙂
Yes me neither, but I must admit it was great fun. Cheers 🙂
Love ’em!
Thank you, Cheers for visiting the ole blog 🙂
Cool shots. I always knew steampunks loved meadows.
Well Steampunks are basically Goffs wot have discovered Brown! And after all the rain, believe me there was plenty of brown 😀
“A fine maid” as they say in Devon, good set of pictures.
Cheers! 🙂
Great, I love steampunk, I need to get into photographing people, (I nearly said shooting people). But I don’t really know where to start.
I always find that the promise of a few pints, a dressing up box and yer mates is a good start 😀
Brilliant work, and she looks so good.
Cheers thanks, Yep she sure does, totally undaunted by the muddy conditions 😀
Bet you were both pleased with these results, excellent!
Yes was a good days photomatography and learning. Cheers 🙂
Brilliant. 🙂
I thankyou, Cheers 🙂
Brilliant choice. Fun! Now from sublime to mundane. See the following:
Sorry to bother you on this end of the weekend. I have a silly request. Please read today’s post on my blog about The Bradley Chronicles. I’d appreciate it if you could read it and then vote for my segment. You’ll see what I mean. Thanks in advance, Fay

Love her hair, first and fourth images are my faves,

Cheers! 🙂
Fabulous photos, all of them. Where did that outstanding skirt come from? Wow! Great shots, beautiful woman.
Cheers! I reckon that’ll be one of Sal’s Charity shop finds, shes a canny fashion hunter is our Sal 🙂
Love them all,and the clouds were a perfect accent.
Cheers! Clouds were perfect, but difficult as the sun kept hiding behind them every 10 seconds or so, which meant constant adjustments had to be made. but it all worked out in the end 🙂
These are GREAT!! I really love the fourth one. 😀
Cheers! Yes the yelly one is quite funky 🙂
Nicely done and great blog
Cheers thanks for the visit 🙂
Wonderful model!
Yep a good laugh is our Mustang 🙂
Thanks for the comment on my post – looks like It’s a double yellow for Friday! Nice set of images and a very pleasing adornment.
May and june are the yellow months around here as the oilseed rape starts to flower, tis everywhere 🙂
Girl with Attitude and Style.
Burps and farts like a Navvy as well 😀
Amazing work! Everytime I see someone decked out in steampunk attire I think “SEPIA!!” but these are truly excellent in full color. Great blog you have.
Cheers 🙂 Yep I know what you mean, I have got some on here that were done with a specific mono / orthochromatic look in mind and they worked nicely. But these were basically screaming for colour what with the hair the flowers and the sky.
