Poppy Field Shoot June 2011

I have always wanted to do a shoot in a poppy field but have never found poppy fields locally to me with enough poppies to make it worthwhile - but this year, there is one on my doorstep - and it's spectacular!
This is my latest shoot of a gorgeous 10 year old girl who is not only very photogenic but also so patient and well behaved, a real pleasure to photograph!   The elements were against us in so far as the sun was in and out like a jack in the box and it was pretty windy but I couldn't complain because at least it was dry - which is more than can be said for the latest weather!!  We just made use of diffusers, reflectors, bit of flash etc to hopefully get some ace results.....but funnily enough, one of the best was the last one done at home!  Again used a little bit of flash here to fill in the shadows.
