WIW: Oh, best little blade of grass!

Ain't no jacket weather in The Valley, but there was plenty of natural light this morning. DH and I went up to watch some model airplanes fly and then catch a French/Italian car show before I have to work this afternoon. Since we just talked about color and natural light in my previous post, I thought it'd be a fun picture series.

1-3: Hiking out to the airplane site.

4-8: Some of our favorites from the car show. I particularly liked the "other" section, populated by one lone vehicle!

9: Testing out the back alley as a new outfit photography spot. There is a low ledge on one of the fences that I can use to hold my camera. Not the prettiest location, and nothing good to use to set the camera focus, but alleys are totally UWP, right?

    I usually like fashion shoots in fields, cos I like country, boho, hippie, but I do prefer the urban backdrop in the alley here, & elsewhere, for UWP. There are so many cool places to do that. Industrial areas in LA are abundant, as are junkyards. Do you live in the valley? In Sun Valley there is a whole street of junkyards.

    No, I don't live in the Valley; I was just there for a car show. Tons of cool places where I am, too, but I don't really have it in me to go out to different locations for everyday outfit shots. I think it is my alley or my den for that!

    Love 'em all! Your outfit is fab, as usual! The alley is a great backdrop for the UWP, fo sho!! And OMG the car show looks like so much fun!

    This weather is gross, isn't it? Forecast is for cooler by next weekend... I sure hope it sticks this time!

    Very cool skirt. Feels like spring! Looks like the car show was fun!

    This is UWP at its best. The color combination is amazing. Is that a skirt or a dress? I'm loving the action shots and the alley backdrop idea as well.

    The car pictures are great, but I love the wiw in the alley. Don't know why though.

    MaryK, YES. The weather is boiling and boring me to death... come on, Fall, get it together!

    Zap, it is a dress with a thin sweater thrown over. To approximate a Fall outfit, even though I think it was close to 80 at 10am...
