This is the final one I promise it was just that someone said:
’ohhh!!!… the hands… she looks like a bird ready to fly…it is wonderful.
And that was it. I thought they have totally understood what I wanted to say .. so I am posting it .. hope you don’t mind.
I still have a bit of catching up to do with work here and my last image .. I will do very soon. Thanks as always to all of you that view and comment .. it means a great deal to me :)
This is truly beautiful as are the others , but honestly the first one i saw “Faith” grabbed me from the heart .. I’ve just read your blog and whilst i spent many years searching for something, i have now found and believe and no longer feel lost or the need to look further. Awaiting the delivery of Faith and have prime possision reserved for it! stunning work.
Do you have the print yet Wendy? If so hope it was good :) Thanks so much for your lovely comment and for reading my blog .. I really appreciate it :)
Oh my, what an exceptional image Deb, her hand & pose, she really looks like she’s just about to take flight – and that light, the way it halo’s her hair, is just magical.
Thanks so much Marion, always lovely to hear from you .. I was very lucky with the light and Fleur is just a perfect model for me :)
Lovely image, yet again. Well done Deb. For those who are not aware – Deb captures a lot of these images with a Hasselblad 500C model (produced between 1957 and 1970). Thanks, Deb, for demonstrating so effectively, recently, that, in the right hands, older equipment can still deliver the goods – this series has been quite inspirational in that respect, I think.

Thanks for the info Brett … you know more about my camera than I do lol!! actually, I knew it was older me and that feels good. Thanks for all your support Brett, really do appreciate it :)
The light is absolute fantastic, and it shows how comfortable you in surroundings that inspire you (or the goth in you :)) the lighting streams through the open windows like the proverbial light at the end of the tunnel, ready to transcend into another world. Thought provoking stuff indeed Deb
Funny enough when we first got there the light was grey and flat (ring any bells?) and I thought i had wasted a 2 hour drive here. So we did our walk which takes a few hours and by the time we got back around 4ish the light was beautiful. I thought the light would blow out as it was so strong and I did the exposure for the shadow (it is very dark in there) .. but the negs were good and all I had to do was the contrast .. so a bit lucky really :)
