The Summer Girl

The Summer Girl Summer is here
Summer arrived on Friday. It was the warmest day of the year with around 24C. When I noticed Linn not far from my favorite cafe I knew I had to take her portrait (I have a thing for redheads). Linn lives in Handen and she has her whole life in front of her as she will graduate from secondary school in just a few weeks time. I tried a Brenizer method portrait (second photo), I took 15 photos but trouble stitching them together, so this is the result of three photos.

  3. Good question. The sun is gone today. The temperature have dropped and they say we can expect rain, followed by thunder and lightning.

  7. Lovely photos. I laughed when I saw the first, it brings to mind Mammy from "Gone With The Wind" saying, 'I ain't never seen hair that colour before in my life. Do you know a dyed hair woman?"

  10. Såg ett "bekant" ansikte i kassan på Biltema idag. Vad är oddsen, jag bläddtade i din blog för första ggn nu i morse.
