That sums up these two images. The first one, I love so much for the technical aspects. If you know anything about really wide open apertures, you know that this kind of focus (or depth of field for those who know the lingo), is a tough thing to achieve!
The second image…well…that pretty much sums up much of the beauty of working on location.
I just came upon your blog and am so amazed by your work. You are an inspiration! Thanks for sharing.
