Bee + Shawn’s Favourite Image

“I found it very difficult to choose just one single picture as my favorite. I love so many photos for so many reasons. To me it is not so much what the photo is about but what it makes me remember about our day However, since the assignment was to only choose a single photo, I’d have to pick the one in the field where we are looking off into the distance at the clouds:”

“I remember the day starting out with rain, and then sun, more rain, hail, and more sun. The wind was pretty fierce and it was about 7 degrees. Driving to the reception we pulled over to admire some of the neatest looking storm clouds I’d ever seen. And maybe it’s just because I’m not facing the camera so you can’t see my runny nose or red cheeks, or maybe it’s the prox­imity to Shawn, or maybe it’s just that the breath­taking scene behind the trees had momen­tarily stopped my shiv­ering, but I don’t look cold. I love that an impromptu stop at the side of the road yielded such a gorgeous shot.”

When I see some­thing inter­esting, I try to take advantage of it, and that’s just what happened here: I saw some neat clouds that I knew would respond well to an infrared photo, so we pulled over I like this one too, but my fave was taken about 20 minutes earlier, in a forest in Fallowfield.

This was taken as we finished and we were on our way out. I’ve always like this image.
