Pony Tail

Posted by Viewfinder (Bradenton, FL, United States) on 24 September 2008 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.

More on the Cape people theme... This lady's luxuriant gray ponytail really caught my eye as we waited in line for the ferry to go back to the mainland from Martha's Vineyard.

Good capture and detail ..... did she hear your shutter? ;D

Prayers for Bella on this delightfully cool morning ..... what a TREAT!

@Judy: No, she didn't hear the shutter (unless she has super-hearing). I had my 300mm telephoto/zoomer on at the time and was a respectable distance from where she stood.

So many braids (plaits) i could imagin that her hair would be hard to tame if it was styled in this way, such great tones too. nice one VF.

Viewfinder:
I always like the way your vision as a photographer, it's out there in left field. Mine was usually out in right field. lol. btw_I've left a little of my own comment at my own site, yesterdays image, although if you go to Loraines' its a wee bit deeper. And its the same problem I mentioned to you a while ago. The solution is no longer in Am3 teams' hands. Its serious and needs attending to as soon as possible from the proper authorities. Legal authorities. I'll stop in from time to time... sniff, sniff. Life goes on. PS: You've come a long way there brother, keep up the good work. I've been chanting for Bella every day.

@Rebel Streetshooter: Thank you Rebel. I'm sad that things aren't working out that you feel you can stay on the "circuit" because I have greatly enjoyed your photos. Please do drop by when you can, and if you decide to tough it out and keep posting, we'll all celebrate with you.

Those braided wools must be warm during winter and too hot during summer.
Insightful photo!
