Back to full colour with a bang today. The sky was looking particularly pretty this evening so we drove out to a field which I spotted whilst driving the other day to do a quick shoot.

This photo was used for a feature article by The New Yorker, on the
home page of their website. See it here: cl.ly/2W1T

i like the look, however there's no way this girl could be writing. seeing as based on the sky and the background it's night time and there seems to be no type of visual light source other than the flash. so conceptually it just doesn't work for me, lol

Don't usually like Strobist pics (I'm more of a natural light guy) but this one is really special. Good capture!

ian It was dusk, there was more than enough light for her to write by. Do know how I know? Cause she genuinely WAS writing.

Hi
This is a fabulous photo. Brilliant colours and the way the subject is engaging with her writing is captivating.
I've used it to illustrate a piece about Free Writing Courses Online
I've attributed the photo to you by name under the photo itself, then with a full backlink from the "Photography by" section near the comments box.
Thanks for sharing!
