The Dancer's Garden

    I really love red in photos at the moment.

    This is the underskirt from my Mum's wedding dress! Isn't it gorgeous? I love the frilly bit at the bottom. I saw it and instantly thought - Ballerina :D. I had to sit on a tarpaulin to stop it getting dirty, although I got a nasty surprise later when I picked it up and a HUGE spider leapt out of it onto my arm!

    Oh! Good news, I have a new dress which should be arriving any day soon! I hopefully have a shoot planned with my horse but I'm waiting for it to arrive...

    I may have another picture or 2 from today with the same kind of theme so it could be a little series I guess? I'm off shopping with Mama now so see you later :)

    I don't say this often any more but this really looks good in lightbox :)

    This photo is in my portfolio on Vogue Italia :) It's also in the selection of photos under photo of the day!! So exited :D

      That red works so well in the dark setting, and those petals coupled with the awesome skirt create a really striking contract between the surroundings and yourself :)

      This is incredible! So soft and pretty.

    25. carolinegos (22 months ago | reply)

      if you don't mind me asking how did you get the top part to curve in? arghh I dont even know how to explain it. it's just that the blurring is sort of circular. did you get that in-camera?

    26. rosiekernohan (22 months ago | reply)

      Do you mean the light at the top? If so, I use a light ball... I basically make a new page in photoshop around 2500 x 2500 pixels then fill it in black, then I got a massive fluffy brush in white and did one dot in the centre. Then you drag that over to your picture and change the layer setting to screen :). I learnt it from Rosie Hardy. I this isn't what you're talking about then I'm sorry for rambling on hahaha. xx

      This is such a beautiful photo, the bits of red are perfect

    28. carolinegos (22 months ago | reply)

      hahaa I meant the plants on the right seem to curve in and I've noticed the circular kind of bokeh with some pictures and I was wondering if you achieved something like that in photoshop? ahaha you're so lovely though. thanks for that xxx

    29. rosiekernohan (22 months ago | reply)

      Aaahh I see! I think I thought: circular - circular light hahaha. Umm... No we just have very clever plants in our garden :) it's all in camera haha. Maybe my little ramble has helped someone else ;).
