New Quay day out

Our day in New Quay started for me at 0610 hrs when Jim and Pip arrived on time to pick me up. We had a beautiful drive to Cheadle with a wonderful sunrise and misty fields and we could have spent a good hour or so photographing the scenes around us, But no, we continued on our way to pick up Layla, the model who Jim had hired for the day.We met and were delighted to meet Layla, who was excellent company on our travels, and kept us amused with her tales of her modelling experiences. It was a beautiful day with lots of sunshine, and Layla did her stuff for Jim in the woods and a derelict building. We then headed for the beach. This was my second image taken of Layla. She soon however started to boss me about a bit, which was excellent as I was learning so much from her as to poses, direction etc. This was taken towards the end of the day, when it was starting to cool down. Well, not too much to say here, boys with toys and all that! The rock strata at the beach was superb and we made the best of it. This is a reflective Layla at the end of the day posing for Jim, to finish off a wonderful day. Layla was brilliant, and good company and very good at bossing us about, with great tips on how to go about photographing models etc. Some great tips. A good day out Gromit! Here is Pip getting stuck into her rock strata's, showing us how it is done.
