My 2nd maternity shoot. Tried a few without the backdrop this time as the colours looked pretty good. Also, there wasn't loads of room to set up the backdrop due to the shape of the room.
For the shots without the backdrop I used both my Sony F42 flashguns with white shoot-through umbrellas.
For the backdrop shots I had a bare flash behind the backdrop and one camera right with a reflector on the floor aiming back up into Matt & Kiley.
There is one respect in which beasts show real wisdom… their quiet,
placid enjoyment of the present moment.

p.s. I will try and get a photo of the baby when is born... :-)
On the 11th April 2018 I visited Hythe village for the very first time. Not really knowing what to expect I found it a very beautiful village on the banks of the Southampton water. Hythe is a town near Southampton, Hampshire. It is located by the shore of Southampton Water, and has a ferry service connecting it to Southampton. Hythe has a small shopping area, a pier, and a very picturesque marina for yachts.
The name Hythe means landing place or haven. Hythe is recorded in a Parliamentary roll from 1293. The Hythe ferry to Southampton is marked on a map by Christopher Saxton of 1575, and on a map by John Harrison in 1788. Hythe was part of the parish of Fawley, although it became a separate parish in 1841. The current church, of Saint John the Baptist, was erected in 1874. It is of red brick with Bath Stone dressings. There were at one time even stocks in the village.
Thanks in part to the British Power Boat Company and it’s excellent access to the English Channel, during World War II Hythe was used as a port for the little ships of the Royal Navy as they were then known, the Motor Torpedo Boats and the RAF Air Sea Rescue Boats. In 1960, The Hovercraft Development Company and Sir Christopher Cockerell, who was the founder, moved to Hythe, he did in fact live in one of the houses near to the marina. There was also a small Royal Air Force base in Hythe known as RAF Hythe. Until its closure in September 2006 it was used by the United States Army to service and maintain watercraft.
Hythe was a village up to the 1950’s, but the expansion of Fawley Refinery, now closed, led to a demand for more houses for workers, and Hythe and Dibden Purlieu were allowed to expand into a small town. In 1983, following the growth of Hythe, the parish of Dibden was renamed to Hythe and Dibden, to reflect the importance of Hythe as a new focal point of the Parish
Hythe has a small shopping area clustered around the High Street, which includes a Waitrose Supermarket, a public library, several charity shops, and various small independent retail shops and cafes. The Hythe Pier, Railway and Ferry operates across Southampton Water to Southampton, and is the oldest working pier train in the world. Hythe's position makes it a good viewing point for watching ocean liners arriving and departing at the port of Southampton, which attracts ship spotters to the area. Hythe has a marina, at which a large number of yachts and boats are moored. Large and expensive houses are situated around the marina, overlooking the waterside. This is controlled by large lock gates at the entrance leading out to Southampton Water.
Expected like the Messiah, here is the first planned roll out of my Mamiya, with the the old fashioned (technology) Shanghai GP3 film developed at home in Caffenol (C-H 9 min 21ºC). Some Retiro needed to appear in the 15 frames… Love it!

Attendu comme le Messie, voilà le premier rouleau prévu avec ma Mamiya, avec le film vieux jeu (technologie) Shanghai GP3 développé au Caffenol (C-H, 21ªc, 9min). Un bout de Retiro devait apparaître. J'adore !

Tan esperado como el MesÃas, lo que estaba planeado, el primer carrete de mi Mamiya, con carrete Shanghai GP3 a lo antiguo (tecnologÃa) revelado en Caffenol (C-H, 9 min 21ºC). Algo del Retiro debÃa de estar en los 15 fotograbas. ¡Me encanta!

Sorry for not commenting during the past few days, there are so many things stuck inside my head.
Had a little photoshoot with my pregnant fiancee. We are expecting a baby girl any day now and wanted this to be the first picture of here.

We are expecting pretty dramatic weather during the next week. I am going to appreciate this front row seat to my backyard visitors.
I normally do not post shots that do not turn out so great, nor do I edit them. I like everyone else on flickr really do not want to advertise the fact that some of my shots do not turn out for what ever reason it might be. BUT today I am making an exception. (the only reason I can do this to this family is they are like my family so they get the same treatment as my own family....tortured)
My friend had these cute little dresses for her girls and I had been doing a ton of sessions in the frost and she thought the dresses would look so nice against the frost. So she asked if I could do a mini session for her. The second we head outside one of the girls slips and falls, the temperature is around 15 degrees, and the baby is not feeling well. All elements that almost make it impossible to get a happy family picture.
We tried. I finally said this is not going to work! We called it a bust and as we were walking inside I said to her in a serious tone, "You were right those dresses really do look nice against the frost." To that she said, "I told you they would!" then we break out in laughter.
The photo above was the BEST shot. When I came home and pulled the shots up I laughed so hard I cried.
My advice is when the shots are just not working, call it a day. Don't waste your time or your clients. It happens, roll with it. =]
blogged larger pics.

There were no major events planned for today so I expected a nice, relaxing day, sipping on a Spritz or two, and just watching the world go by. I should know better by now! I was out wandering and stumbled on several groups shooting and the photographers graciously let me join them (note - these photographers are excellent and great to shadow). I was also able to shoot with some new masks. I am always impressed by the creativity of so many people. Wow. Not a bad day after all.
I took these photos on 25.02.2022 in Venice, Italy.

Photos? what is the need for that. Something like that.. Then i took the phot and shown to him. He was looking happy for seeing that photo.
For "reasons", we were at Walmer castle tis afternoon.
It was beyond hot.
And then I realised its about 15 years since we were last here, at the seat of the Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports, so chance before the reason, to wander about and take shots.
Did I mention it was hot?
Walmer castle has been converted from a place of defence into the residence of the Lord Warden, a converted Tudor castle, similar to Deal and Winchelsea, though decked out as expected for Wardens such as The Duke of Wellington (he died here, and Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother.
Before going to Walmer, there was the morning to fill.
No gym for us, so we could lay until seven until the water boiler fired up, that usually wakes me, though Jools had been up an hour by then.
We watered some of the thirstier plants, then sat on the patio until the fierce heat that was too strong for more than a few minutes at nine, made us seek cool shelter back inside.
The cats too take shelter from the heat, when we can stand it we watch wasps stopping to take drinks from the bowl we put out.
Lunch is rolls with either corned beef of roast beef, pickles, and being British, crisps to add the crunch, though from a break with tradition, paprika flavour rather than cheese and onion.
They filled us up, so we retired to the patio, as after lunch the shadows cover the seats, though as the sun doesn't get as high in the sky now, it shines longer under the umbrella.
Just before two we leave for the Castle.
Did I mention it was hot?
It was hot..
A short drive into Walmer, then out through to the coast road, parking near the beach opposite the entrance.
We are members, but would have got in free, as we were here to attend a meeting of U2A, and for me to meet some of my churchcrawling group.
Not sure if I wrote about this, but from the end of September, every two weeks, ten of us will visit a church, and I will struggle to answer questions.
The new group went "live" in the system last Sunday, and in under an hour I had received thirty requests to join. The first ten got in, so we will see how that goes.
Walmer Castle has splendid grounds, lots of plants, especially in the kitchen garden, and being school holidays, there were a few families around, but it wasn't crowded. Photography is still banned inside, so we skipped the castle tour and went straight outside.
There was a couple of shots I wanted, which I got, but really, it was just too hot to be wandering too far out of the shade.
We took shelter on a bench in the shadow of a hedge beside the pond in the Queen Mother's garden, and sat there cooling down until it was time to go into the meeting.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Walmer Castle is an artillery fort originally constructed by Henry VIII in Walmer, Kent, between 1539 and 1540. It formed part of the King's Device programme to protect against invasion from France and the Holy Roman Empire, and defended the strategically important Downs anchorage off the English coast. Comprising a keep and four circular bastions, the moated stone castle covered 0.61 acres (0.25 ha) and had 39 firing positions on the upper levels for artillery. It cost the Crown a total of £27,092 to build the three castles of Walmer, Sandown, and Deal, which lay adjacent to one another along the coast and were connected by earthwork defences.[a] The original invasion threat passed, but during the Second English Civil War of 1648–49, Walmer was seized by pro-Royalist insurgents and was only retaken by Parliamentary forces after several months' fighting.
In the 18th century, Walmer became the official residence of the Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports and was gradually modified from a military fortification into a private residence. Various Prime Ministers and prominent politicians were appointed as Lord Warden, including William Pitt, the Duke of Wellington and Lord Granville, who adapted parts of the Tudor castle as living spaces and constructed extensive gardens around the property. By 1904, the War Office agreed that Walmer had no remaining military utility and it passed to the Ministry of Works. Successive Lord Wardens continued to use the property but it was also opened to the public. Walmer was no longer considered a particularly comfortable or modern residence, however, and Lord Curzon blamed the poor condition of the castle for his wife's death in 1906.
Lord Wardens since the Second World War have included Winston Churchill, Robert Menzies and Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, but they have made only intermittent use of Walmer Castle. In the 21st century, Walmer Castle is run as a tourist attraction by English Heritage. The interior of the castle displays a range of historical objects and pictures associated with the property and its Lord Wardens, protected since the 19th century by special legislation. The grounds include the Queen Mother's Garden, designed by Penelope Hobhouse as a 95th birthday gift for Elizabeth in 1997.
Walmer Castle was built to defend the English coast from attack by France and the Holy Roman Empire in the final years of the reign of King Henry VIII. Traditionally the Crown had left coastal defences to the local lords and communities, only taking a modest role in building and maintaining fortifications, and while France and the Empire remained in conflict with one another, maritime raids were common but an actual invasion of England seemed unlikely.[1] Modest defences, based around simple blockhouses and towers, existed in the south-west and along the Sussex coast, with a few more impressive works in the north of England, but in general the fortifications were very limited in scale.
Walmer and the adjacent castles of Deal and Sandown were constructed to protect the Downs in east Kent, an important anchorage formed by the Goodwin Sands which gave access to Deal Beach, on which enemy soldiers could easily be landed.[9] The stone castles were supported by a line of four earthwork forts, known as the Great Turf, the Little Turf Bulwark, the Great White Bulwark of Clay and the Walmer Bulwark, and a 2.5-mile-long (4.0 km) defensive ditch and bank.[10] Collectively the castles became known as the "castles of the Downs" and cost the Crown a total of £27,092 to build.
In the 18th century, Walmer Castle became the official residence of the Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports.[26] The Lord Warden was originally a medieval title linked to five key ports along the coast of England; the position's prominence had faded, but it still retained important judicial and military functions.[30] When Lionel Sackville, 1st Duke of Dorset, was appointed to the post in 1708 he decided that the existing residence in Dover Castle was unsatisfactory, probably because of the semi-ruinous state of the castle, and moved into Walmer Castle instead.[31]
The Duke occupied the post of Lord Warden until 1765, save for two periods when it was filled by James Butler, 2nd Duke of Ormonde and John Sidney, 6th Earl of Leicester.[32] He carried out extensive work to make the castle more habitable, building extensions towards the north bastion and constructing a small house in the south bastion for the soldiers.[26] Under the subsequent Lord Wardens, the politicians Robert Darcy, 4th Earl of Holderness, and Francis North, 1st Earl of Guilford, the castle continued to house artillery but it became increasingly less military in character.[33]
The Prime Minister William Pitt the Younger was then made the Lord Warden in 1792. Pitt was badly in debt and King George III believed that the post, which came with a salary of £3,000 a year, would usefully supplement Pitt's income.[34][b] Pitt made extensive use of the castle and by 1803 he used it as his main residence in an effort to reduce his living costs.[36] Pitt's niece, Lady Hester Stanhope, joined him at Walmer between 1803 and 1806; together with Pitt, she carried out extensive work on the castle gardens, transforming them from a simple kitchen garden into a set of landscaped ornamental enclosures; Stanhope enlisted the Dover militia to help with the landscaping and planting.[37]
With the outbreak of the French Revolutionary Wars, Pitt became energetically involved in the protection of the ports along the coast, entertaining the local garrison commanders, naval captains and the local gentry at Walmer on a regular basis.[38] After Pitt resigned as prime minister in 1801, fears remained of a French invasion and he formed a volunteer cavalry unit at Walmer Castle, where he lived with his new officers.[39] He also formed a unit of bombardier infantry and a fleet of 35 fishing boats called luggers, which he armed with 12-pound (5.4 kg) or 18-pound (8.2 kg) guns, reviewing them from the castle.[40] Stanhope remarked on the constant drilling of army units around the castle during her time there.[41]
Robert Jenkinson, 2nd Earl of Liverpool, took possession of Walmer Castle following the death of Pitt in 1806.[32] Liverpool was a favourite of King George's, and his appointment as Lord Warden was again intended to provide a valuable income and a country retreat.[42] As prime minister, Liverpool used Walmer as a personal retreat and as a location for private political discussions with selected guests.
On Lord Liverpool's death in 1828, Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington and the prime minister at the time, asked King George IV for the post of Lord Warden, primarily because he was seeking the use of Walmer Castle.[44] Wellington took up post in 1829 and considered Walmer to be "the most charming marine residence".[45] He made use of the castle each autumn, entertaining extensively there but living and sleeping in a single room.[46] He was visited there twice by Victoria, once when she was still a princess and later as queen.[47] Wellington let the gardens fall into a poor condition.[48] Wellington died in his room at Walmer on 14 September 1852.[49] His embalmed body was kept in his room to lie in state until 10 November,[50] and when the room was opened for public visitors during the final two days, around 9,000 attended.[51] The Duke's body was finally removed to London via Deal, complete with a military escort.
