This is a continuation of photo / stranger 407, Ceil.
Ivy was one of the group of Fashion, Art and Design students chilling out in their lunch break on Wednesday afternoon.
I loved Ivy’s hat and jacket and also her fluffy toy. I asked her what her fluffy friend was called, Ivy smiled and said it wasn’t actually a fluffy toy, it was a backpack. She did tell me the name of her toy, but I cannot remember his name, I think it may have been Jake or maybe Reg ! Anyway, it wasn’t a fluffy friend, but a backpack !
I almost messed the photo up. I’d done a group shot of the students wide open at f2.8 and a shot at f9 to get a good depth of field. When I did this shot, I’d forgot to adjust the aperture from f9 resulting in a shutter speed of 1/40 second, in theory I should have had some camera shake and loss of sharpness, but the in camera stabilisation resulted in a pretty sharp image.
If you look carefully you can see me sat on the floor with my camera in the reflection .
Thats it for the story, most of it was told in stranger 407.
Love this. Her outfit looks good too. I thought the fluffy animal was a bag when I could see the yellow straps.
& yes you are visible in the reflection. All in a lovely shot!
Brilliant portrait capture. That's quite a fun bag pack, I was going to say "still going out with toys at her age!". Fav. I can see you in the reflection. Did you need help to get up straight after?
