The red dress

 

Apologies if you remember seeing this photo before. I came across it again the other day and I still like it. I posted it way back in 2010 and I may even have reposted it since, but I appear to have lost the original image file. I took it at a fashion show in the Victoria Hall, in the early days of my photographic journey. It was dark and my camera wasn't coping with the lack of light and the movement of the models so it ended up blurred. That, however, is one of the reasons I like it, as you can sense that 'swish' of the dress. I once entered it in a camera club competition and the judge slated it. (No soul, these judges!)

Anyway, no apologies for filling up a blog space with it; it's just to preserve a memory.

  1. Great image, and it certainly reminds this woman of the fun of wearing a gorgeous dress with a swooshing skirt. Definitely a certain vibe!

  2. I thought it's a painting!! It's a great picture, poster-worthy.

    By the way, my sister and I are now only 5 weeks away from our annual Yorkshire holiday, and are currently filling our diary with trips and visits with friends and family. Our landlady and friend Julia will drive with us to Saltaire for a day out on Thursday, 23 July. Any chance we meet, or a recommendation of a good place to grab a bite to eat around lunch time? A café will do, no need for a posh restaurant :-)
