Friends Forever

David Lade

Friends Forever

This image was taken at Honeymoon Bay, Freycinet Peninsula, Tasmania. I like it because it has a children’s storybook feel to it. I spent half an hour photographing a group of little girls playing under the tree.

There were five more of them out of sight, closer to the water. These two were the teachers and the others were the class. In this shot one of the girls put her arm around the other (not really the usual sort of thing that teachers do) to present a charming moment! As the sun was sinking it was magic! I shot it dark to enhance the silhouette and to intensify the colours in the sky.

This image has won a couple of l awards and was part of a greeting card set called Light, Land and Water. Captured with a very old second-hand nikon 25-50 zoom. A great lens! Velvia scan.

“Friends Forever” was featured in the group Dawn and Dusk Light.

    Excellent shot. At first (viewing the thumbnail) I thought the title referred to what seemed like a pair of trees but in the large view I saw the two people. A nice echo though between trees and people I think.
