Summertime means getting outside and making a whole lot of photographs. Of course this year that is happening a lot less than I’d like it to but I am still getting out some. We’ve only had a couple of days in these parts venture into the triple digit temperatures and for the most part it has stayed a nice and comfortable 80-ish degrees. That means lots of people volunteering to make photographs and I certainly don’t want to say no!
Up on Sauvie Island, just a little north of Portland, there are large groves of lazy trees dotting the cow fields and long abandoned farms. I wish I knew the name of the trees that dot the landscape there. I’m terrible at arboriculture (thought I do know that word!!). Many of them have these low hanging branches that stretch out like a person crawling along the floor. It is rather beautiful and it makes for some easy photographs. This photograph is actually a little deceiving as the model is only a couple of feet off the ground. Low angles really do wonders with how a photograph is perceived sometimes.
