Let’s be honest: This summer sucks. It’s nearing its end and I’ve been at the lake only once or twice. So I am really craving for some nice summer mood shots. Sparkling grains set on fire by the sunset, corn fields, luscious greens… so for the past weeks I’ve been looking forward to a summer shoot with Ruta who shares my passion for summer. Alright, weather didn’t look too bad, I get my stuff packed, we head over to the location… and the second we pull in, it starts raining like there’s no tomorrow. Being optimists, we waited in the car for the rain to pass, and it finally did. So we hiked out to the fields just to check out some potential spots rather than with the intention to get a shoot started. Everything still dripping, sky overcast, so I thought, why not take some detail shots? Fellow photographers know that grey sky makes for a pretty even light – and as long as you stay away from showing sky in the frame, you’re golden. Before I knew it, we were in the middle of an awesome shoot – totally different from what I expected, but suprising myself often brings the best results. Didn’t even have the time to play with any equipment, so this was all shot with natural light and my trusty 50mm lens opened wide at around f/2. There will be a part two of this shoot – featuring summer sun. Pinky promise!
