Darcy's Blue Dress

I went on a photoshoot this morning at the Papplewick Pumping Station, Nottingham. A Victorian building set in beautiful gardens and grounds.

This is Darcy, one of two models at the event. Darcy had two costume changes.

This is Darcy's blue dress / gown. She is modelling by the lake.

This is shot on my Sony A6700 with Sony Glass. I also took my Sony A6000, with a £10, fifty years old vintage Russian lens attached. I think you might be impressed by the vintage lens results when I post them .

I won't tell you how many photos I took over the 3 hours !!!!

Such a wonderful image of Darcy. It must be warmer with you than it is with us! Darcy would be frozen, up here.

Wow, a blue angel with red hair. Great shot

[Dione Giorgio]

Fav. Fantastic portrait capture, Phil. Fav. And Darcy is a great poser and has such a lovely blue dress.

[Alison Hewitt Bailey]

Dramatic pose, beautifully captured. Great choice of backdrop for a model shoot too - proving whoever said "blue and green should never be seen" was talking rubbish!

Fab dress

It’s Darcy’s red hair that got my attention!!
