Being prepared…..
The last two days of sunshine were very welcome after all the rain we’ve had – but then this afternoon it started raining….again! I don’t mind the rain, and if I’m dressed appropriately I quite like a rainy walk!
….but sometimes you just want the sun to shine.
A few weeks ago, the sun was shining brightly, the skies were bright blue and white fluffy clouds were floating along.
Where possible, I like to check out new shooting locations. I like to be ‘prepared’, find the best places to shoot and be familiar with my surroundings. Not only does it save time on the day of the shoot, but I feel I produce my best work when I have visuals in my mind.
Ian and I headed over to Avenham Park at Preston, so I could check it out for an upcoming shoot.
…there was this gorgeous Japanese style garden
….and loads of flowers for me to photograph as well, so I was in my element!
There was also lots of park noise for Ian to record. So Ian sat in the middle of a field…..
….while I explored my surroundings.
Unfortunately, the following week when the shoot was to take place, the heavens opened and the shoot was called off! 
Hopefully it will be rescheduled in the next few weeks, as I’m really looking forward to shooting in the Japenese garden.
Happy Friday !
