Wind

Chytia, Heather, Wind
Photographs by Tom Atwood

Shooting portraits outside you can't control the weather. You can choose the time of day (late afternoon), but even if things look good, a storm can blow up quickly anytime, like it did on this summer day in 

St. Louis. Chytia and Heather had hoped to get a picture together. They got one--just not what they were expecting. However, sometimes the wind can create interesting or unusual portraits, like the photograph below of Heather, as she faced the coming storm, one of my favorite portraits.

Shutter: 1/80; Aperture: f/2.2; ISO: 800; Focal length: 25 mm
