August is the month of Sweet corn here in Ohio. Locals always know where to find the sweetest corn.
Today's theme takes us to that place where childhood memories despite the gap of years, are shared by many.
Back Roads & Sweet Corn...
This is not the best shot but I adore her smiling face in it. Being a preteen, capturing that relaxed & happy sincere face has become far & few. I guess it's not cool to photo model for your mom.
Simply marked by wooden signs on the edge of gravel drives.
A time old method of Honesty Box payments are still found. Simply drop your money in and make change if needed.
There is something so pleasurable in the scent of fresh sweet corn released as you pull the green husks. It's silk clinging between the rows of milky kernels.
Country back roads provide some of the most cherished memories of childhood.
Sweet Dreams,

* This practice session was used to experiment with white balance, the golden hour of sun & framing in the shot. Not mastered but with each session another lesson is learned. Many thanks to my oldest daughter Panda for indulging me as the model as well as wearing a dress for the shoot.
these are lovely!
ReplyDeleteI could have sworn I commented on these already. They are lovely. I love the warmth
ReplyDeleteMy appologies Detta, I did not have the email set up for notice on comments.
ReplyDeleteThank you. She was not real happy about doing these since she hates when I try to direct her. The mosquitos were really bad as well around the corn field. I included the first one despite my ot liking the lighting because she actually had a slight smile. I thought the warmth added seemed to "fit" the feel I was going for. I had her wear white so I could see how my white balance playing would come out. I'm prepping up Masons theme for tomorrow night. Still putting a few things together. Thank you for the comment. I made this blog just so I have a place to store my progress and with some will be making a scrap book from the pages for a family keepsake.
