I didn’t only take photos of Fiona at the old car when we did her maternity shoot on Sunday.  And these photos are perfect for this week’s Metal photohunt (I haven’t taken part in photohunt for a few weeks).

I took Elaine and Bryan to a ruin that I found in Muldersdrift today for some photos, as a practise shoot.  We had loads of fun exploring the old house, and we ended up really filthy.

What I learnt today…
1.  Wear closed shoes when doing a photo shoot in the veld.
2.  Use a smaller lens.  I should have stuck to the 18-55mm lens or the 50mm lens rather than trying to be clever, because it was late afternoon and the quality of the shots weren’t brilliant with the big zoom.
3.  Learn more about poses.  LOL, they kept asking me what they should do, and I was just blank!! LOL! I should have been more prepared.  I’ve read lots of stuff re poses etc, but I should have read them again.
