Last week I took some “summer” themed photos with Christen, Miranda, Heather, Ashley, and Beth.  It was a lot of fun.  We used the summer idea loosely but tried to emphasize bright colors, flora and fauna, and sun dresses/hats.  These are some of my favorites.  Due to the sheer number I am only posting about half of them in this post. More will follow in the days ahead.

I used the vignetting effect for many of these photos.  A first for me as I tend towards very light editing.  I do like how it draws the eye to a particular part of the photo.

You may notice Miranda and Christen are left out of the following set.  This is because we took their photos on the sunny side of the shed.  The photos didn’t turn out quite as well.  It’s one of curses of working during the hottest part of the day…your instinct is to keep moving forward and not redo photos lest you die of heat exhaustion and drown in sweat.
