Recently, I had the opportunity to spend some time with my family at a local apple orchard.  Aside from the usual fun and apples, I had the opportunity to spend a few minutes with my favorite model on an impromptu photo shoot at a gazebo on the orchard property.  Here are several images we got from that shoot.  I wasn’t looking for the chance to add to my portfolio, but it cropped up and I seized it.  I believe we took about ten minutes.  All the lighting was natural (it was cloudy overcast) and some of the images have been run through some filter software to try to play with the looks.  Enjoy.

A sunflower I found at a yard sale.  If I recall correctly, other images I took of this flower included a bumble bee looking for pollen.

A wall decoration I happened to find at a restaurant and bar in Franklin, Indiana during a high school class reunion.

A beat up classic Chevy truck I found in the library parking lot one day.  I was fascinated by the pattern and beaten and weathered look the dents on the hood and body gave the truck.  Beauty in the beast.

An old rusted out car I found sitting in front of a barn while driving around out in the country.

Some wedding rings on the bride’s bouquet from a wedding I shot.

Some decorative pots I found on a shoot.

A basket of peppers I found at a local farmer’s market.

Some decorative pears I found during a shoot.
