Sinful Sunday: Sensible Shoes

The prompt for this week’s Sinful Sunday is ‘all about the laughter’. Sexy pics that make us smile and giggle.

Well, my photographs for this theme are ones that were taken quite a few months back by E and came out of the shoot we did of me wandering half clad through some local woods and hayfields. Before we set off, we decided to throw a pair of stilettos into our kit bag (clearly an excellent choice of footwear for woods and muddy paddocks) but, turns out, trying to get your legs in the right position whilst lying on your back in a sea of uncut grass is actually quite tricky.

The first two pics look like I’ve tripped over. And while the last is slightly more elegant, you still get the feeling that the whole thing is highly incongruous and I should have invested in some decent walking shoes.

Nothing like a few Sinful bloopers. :-)

Sinful Sunday: Lay (Wander Series)

This Wander image (another shot taken on my afternoon walk with the lovely E) has tortured me a bit. My photo editing skills are somewhat limited but I decided to try and knock all the colour out of it, bar that in the red top I was wearing, in order to stop the hayfield from dominating me (pun intended) quite so much. Er, yeah. Unfortunately, I wasn’t quite good enough to negotiate my way around all the grass blades in the foreground so, after much growling and muttering, settled for messing about with the colour levels to make all the green stuff a little more silvery. I kind of like what I ended up with (I think the seed heads feel a little bit ghostly) … Continue reading →

Sinful Sunday: Hay Field (Wander Series)

This is the second group of pictures from my Sinful Sunday Wander Series and, as you’ll see from the below, E and I moved out of the woods and into a much more open space – a huge hay field. Surrounded by elderflowers and big trees, it’s a truly beautiful place, especially when the grass is long like it is now.

We had a little bit of an, er, encounter with some dog walkers while doing this set – I was haring around with no top and suddenly saw a golden retriever bounding through the grass towards me. Cue frantic dropping to my knees and scrabbling about for my t-shirt (not easy to find in long grass!) whilst E tried not to laugh and give the impression she was taking photographs of seed heads. Thankfully, we were alone again a short time later and were able to continue.

Once again, massive thanks to the lovely E for her help in shooting these images. Continue reading →

Sinful Sunday: Woodland (Wander Series)

The following images wouldn’t have been possible with the help of my very lovely friend, E, who didn’t bat an eyelid when I told her I needed help shooting some (sort of) revealing photographs. Or balk when I said ‘bring wellies!’.

We had such a blast taking these pictures – and the others in what I’m now (pretentiously) calling the Wander series; they were all snapped in a single afternoon on one of my favourite walking routes. Having the opportunity to experiment with natural light, textures and, in some of the shots, gusts of wind, made the whole experience both fascinating and enjoyable. We had so many ideas we wanted to explore but, in the end, we ran out of time! Looking at what we ended up with, I decided to group the images according to setting and, rather than reveal them in all in one go, post them over the next few Sinful Sundays.

Relatively speaking, the photographs in Wander are pretty tame (although for me personally they are quite risky) but I hope that you get a sense of the open spaces we were in and a little hint of something sensual going on within them. Continue reading →
