The other day when we had so much snow, I was trying to come up with something new to photograph - instead of always the same old thing. I thought maybe two girls making their way home from school. So I pulled out the backpacks and took the girls outside, and took a photo in one of my usual places.....there's not a lot of choice in my backyard....
Okay I guess, but I really wanted something a bit different. It was 3:30 and the school down the street should be getting out, which meant several school buses going past my house. So I conscripted Jan, who was working from home that day, to come out front and hold the dolls while I waited for a school bus to come by. I tried to ignore the neighbours who were out shovelling their driveways. We didn't have to wait long, a bus very soon came around the corner. I had to shoot fast, since the bus wasn't exactly going to 'stop and pose' for me - so there was no time for careful positioning - just aim and shoot, and hope for the best. I got three pictures....
I had to shoot fast, so there was no time to change poses....
Then a quick spin around to catch the bus heading down to the school....
I was really happy with my 'Schoolgirls' photos. So much more interesting and realistic.
