Lavender Festival

On Friday, I went to a Lavender Festival in Fairfield, Pa a small town near Gettysburg. I heard of this last year but could not make it. The festival is held 3 days during the prime harvest of lavender. I was mainly there for the chance to photograph something different and beautiful.

They had pick your own lavender, which looked a lot of fun. I was there quite early so it wasn't really full yet. I spotted this lady gathering her lavender and loved the look of her hat!

It is definitely worth visiting again, they had workshops, lectures and such. I just bought myself a lavender plant. There was lots of lavender products for sale along with a variety of arts and crafts. I forgot to mention that is smelled great but I was sleepy the rest of the day! I now want to make Lavender cupcakes!

WELCOME

Hello, glad you could find the time to visit! The Clicks Of My Shutter welcomes you to a photo journal of things happening around me, places I go, sometime just to take photos. I am an amature photographer who likes taking photos more than people like looking at them!! Most of the photos can be viewed larger, I keep them pretty small for easier uploading.

All photography is copyrighted automatically but I don't mind if you use my photos for yourself, all I ask is if you use them on another website give credit where credit is due.

~ What To Wear ~

I found this on the Web and thought it was usefull! Photographers shooting a traditional family portrait will suggest that members wear a uniform color that the entire clan feels comfortable in. The safest colors are solid muted tones that don't distract from a person's face. Suggested color "dos" include: •Brown •Blue •Rust •Burgundy •Mocha •Hunter green •Gold Conversely, there are a number of colors that you shouldn't sport on family picture day. Some color "don'ts" include: •Purple •All neon or fluorescent colors •Bright red •Bright green •Gray In addition, individuals with fair skin should avoid wearing flesh-tones, such as: •Beige •Tan •Peach •Pink •Bright white •Yellow •Rose •Apricot Black is a controversial color in the world of family portraits. Some photographers recommend wearing black during formal shoots, though most pro shooters tell their clients to avoid wearing black in family portraits because the color may cause lighting issues. Extreme contrasts are to be avoided at all costs during photo shoots, especially when multiple subjects are involved. You're better off sticking with neutral colors that will accentuate your natural features.
