After a long day


(50mm, iso800, 1/20 sec, f/1.4, spot metering)


After a long day with two crazy, crazy kids this is how my wife unwinds and vents all her emotions. I wanted this to be more of a dark, artistic shot so I experimented a little bit.

This was actually one of Britt's ideas. But I stole it. I'm like that.

Britt wants me to note that I made her wear the hat. She doesn't want to come across as weird.

LOL!!!

Well I think the cowboy hat is great so dont worry about that. Nice picture and I like how it looks just barely into dark for the background makes the rest pop out to me!

I love this picture Dave! Brittney, You look so good! So its alright to say your smoking hot!! I also really like that hat, its fitting! The whole feel of the picture is very calming. My mom plays a lot and I used to listen to her for hours... Great shot!

Yesssss... the guitar!! :) Dave, I love this picture, and I love even more that you signed in under Brit's name... (or that Brittney wrote that about herself... ;) It reminds me of summer nights, jamming on the porch... peaceful, wonderful... PERFECT!

seriously a smokin hot babe you got there, Dave!!!


(by the way i've been cracking up over you and B's banter over this... you guys are da bomb dot com)

but seriously, I love this shot.. LOVe that it's at night, it makes it sorta mysterious and cool. I love the red door (oh how I want a red door when I grow up) and I LOVE that she plays the guitar... this just confirms B's utter coolness. oh and Brittney, that hat is a KEEPER... no weirdness at all, it totally suits!

I like the hat, not weird at all!! I love everything about this photo.
We had the same idea, and I didn't look at all the photos before posting mine.

I love this picture too! I love the light you get, from it seems, the front porch light. It seems quiet and peaceful. A great capture!

Very beautiful, love the red door in the back and how it's kind of dark and sultry looking. How fun to sit on the porch playing a guitar! Love it

Candace said...

I LOVE this Dave, and Brittney, you are smokin hott, and I thought that was hilarious when that comment was written under your name! ;)

I love the darkness of the picture with just the small amount of light and the hat really adds a great touch!

I love this photo. My absolute favorite one of the challenge. I like that she looks totally immersed in her playing, I like the red door, I like the slightly off-center framing of her in the doorway, and I LOVE the hat.
