As she walked through the pines, she thought about the love that was lost. The crackling of the leaves and twigs below her feet echoed through the narrow pathways that led her not only through the labyrinth of the forest but also gave her some comfort the progress was being made.
Fresh pine allowed for the clearing of the senses that heightened her connection with the beauty that surrounded her, as she drifted in and out of her conscious mind.
What was it that she was thinking about?  Where was she going and where did she want to be?
These look familiar. .. beautiful and stunning as always
How do they look familiar?
I could be wrong but think you showed me one or two in class?
mmmmm maybe… This is the first time this has been made public but I might of used it to show ideas and technique in class. Not sure as I talk a lot of smack in class and use what ever I need to use to get the idea across.
We were talking about sun and lighting on the face etc
ha ha No doubt… 🙂
this shot was taken in very little natural light and was early morning overcast.
It’s very beautiful but you already know I’m a big fan of your art
aww wow that is beautiful. lighting is perfect:P
Thanks Daz N Jason Fonteyne I am sure you know the location.. 😉

I am intrigued by your story telling…i must read on…..And you did use this pic or one similar to make a point in one of our classes also! Lovely photo as usual….are we meeting anymore? Or have I worn out my welcome? lol 🙂
ha ha ha its apparently that I give my class a insight into my shots.. ha ha ha
you could never wear out your welcome Ellen Young as you are almost family. 🙂
That is what I love about you…well i don’t know what it is with you , but my blood sugar drops everytime i even think about having a class!!! I guess i am a nervoue Ellie!! Wanting to impress the teacher!! ha ha ha….
bwhahahahah Oh come on…. am no that hard… Honest and to the point but not hard… 🙂
Ellen you aren’t alone in that feeling lol
oh I see how this is… The students take a stance against the teacher… ha ha ha boy I really need to be harder on you guys…
Lol now now we are your protégé
Well work harder and make me proud….
Yes sir
Get him Rose!! hahahaha….
Rose is too kind….. 🙂 she has come leaps and bounds since we started out classes… Its really nice to see growth in my students. 🙂
the same as I have seen in you Ellen Young. 🙂 It always amazes me how far people can come when pushed.. ha ha ha
I just sit here mesmorized by your photo’s..i would not want to be taught by anyone ele’s but you…I am so greatfull!
I wish i could be standing along side of you when you took this shot..it just excites me so much to catch that light!
When do we get to see your friends wedding pic’s? I bet they are gorgeous!
🙂 Well the reality is not as exciting as the product let me tell you..
It involves cold and super early mornings, weather, and lack of sleep…
I posted a couple the other night. Other than that I wont be posting any more.
Yes but i would be awake right!?/ lol
ha ha ha maybe
Hmmm…i must of missed them…i will check out your homepage
Brendan you made me blush. I enjoy our classes and have learnt so much. And I so appreciate your patience when it came to health issues
You too Rose? …I had eye surgery during one week of my class!! lol..i hope you are feeling better….He is used to dealing with the sick and blind….But Patience is definitly one of his Virtues!
Thanks Ellen Young and Rose Proffitt… 🙂
Lets face it.. shit happens and if I can accommodate why shouldn’t I?
Some times I dont have a choice due to other commitments but hey as long as you ladies are getting value and learning something then all is good with the world. 🙂
We sure have kept him on his toes between us. I had surgery for the big c. Definitely on the mend though energy levels are not 100% and I agree definitely one of his virtues
I hope you are recovered now
You know me well enough I’ll take what I can get lol.
Sounds like I have been way too kind… ha ha ha
I feel like i have learned so much…but i definitly could pick your brain some more! i hope you continue to do on-line courses…especially in lightroom and off camera and studio lighting. you really helped me in that area for sure! Now like you said ..I need to put it to work!
You can never be too kind. If there were more people like that the world would be a better place. And having been a recipient of your kindness I am getting the chance to make a 9 year Olds birthday wish come true.
Rose we need to become friends…i will friend request you, since we have alot in common!! We can talk about Brendan in private!! HaHaHaHa!! j/k….Wow i would like to hear about your experience with the Big C as my best friend is dealing with that herself right now!
Gladly
Yeah we better stop. we dont want him to get the Big Head!! lol….it is amazing how we have become such good friends and over internet only!! I was blessed to meet him on 365…Are you on 365? ..i am not anymore but it was a wonderful experience.
Yes I am. Also met Brendan there. Had the pleasure of meeting him face to face earlier this year.
Now if I actually blushed I would.. You ladies are freaking awsome. I love working with you both as you are keen to learn and while some of my advice might see a little bit… harsh and left field you take it in both hands and run with it.. and I just say the result show.
Yes it is kind of weird that a lost of people I have never met in person but the bonds are still the same.. The ability to transfer knowledge, feelings and emotion through the internet is fantastic, especially when we meet on skype once a week.
Not sure about the big head Ellen Young ha ha ha as I really dont care for any of that.. 🙂
Im not scared Rose Proffitt as I stand by eveything I say and you ladies can only say good things about me right…… ha ha ha
That’s right!! I remember you now!! Gosh that year was so much fun! I am to looking forward to Meeting Brendan one day…He is going to come stay with me in the States…..and do some classes…and travel a bit….we would have met already if i did not need two back surgeries this past year! …always something! 🙂 But it will happen…Right Brendan??:)
So worth the meet. I am looking forward to our next visit when I’m not hung over lol
Only good things Brendan you are a true gem
Yes it will Ellen Young When you feel right I will organise workshops in your part of the world… Just waiting on you my friend to get better.
