Shimelle (the peppiest, most colorful girl I think I've ever met) has been doing a really cool series on her website and just happened to post one of my shots today.
Thanks for the invite Shimelle.
Also, to answer a question I missed; the blurred areas from this shoot are all related to depth of field. I don't own a tilt-shift lens (though I really, really, really want one).
And one more shot from the other night (since I can't post without a photo)...


A tilt-shift lens? I have no idea what that is but you've piqued my curiosity...
Another stunningly beautiful picture. This is one of those shots that years down the road will choke you up and continue to take your breath away.

Fantastic! And if I didn't consider myself a bit of insider (still a wait-listed insider, but an insider none-the-less), I'd NEVER have known there's a school bus hiding back there. ;-) Beautiful light here.
