Sometimes things just work out

Sometimes in order to make a good picture you need a little luck. Today I got lucky. I was assigned by a magazine called "Dig" to shoot a portrait of the owner of a tulip farm in Woodburn. On the way out I noticed that the sunset was going to look decent and thinking that hopefully there would be some flowers around. Well I arrived and there was nothing..no flowers, just mud. She took me to a greenhouse where there were some plants, but no colorful flowers like I was hoping. We talked for a while and she mentioned a windmill that was popular with visitors when they come out to see the tulips....so we drove out on the property and found this windmill in the middle of a field......Windmill, plus sunset, equals cool photo......I love the versatility of the Canon Speedlites too. A couple of these bad boys on full power and you can light up the world.
