Though the autumn seems to be nearly over, I still held the hope to hang out with someone, taking shots of the passing autumn colors and enjoying the fresh cool air and the precious warm sunshine. Vermont, a place widely regarded as the sacred ground for red autumn leaves, really appeals me to drive there and makes my shots look red. And finally I got a chance to go to Bennington town nearby with my long-time friends - Yanliang and Jing, a sweet couple I shot portraits for not long time ago. They held quite high expectations on my photography work since last time as far as I know, yet I am still desired to do some landscape shots that I personally really like instead of endless portraits and poses. The bad luck on that day is we didn't find any enjoyable red leaves or trees to do some fascinating landscape or still life photography. Instead, we found a quiet and peaceful little college hidden behind a small woods, as well as the lovely and sexy animal - alpaca. Previously, I never took any shots for people-animal combo, so it seems to be a nice trial this time, the offer I couldn't resist yet didn't expect much. To my surprise, one of the standard portraits of Jing and alpaca turns out to be a dramatic show that I immediately fell in love with, and the 35mm Carl Zeiss lens made all of the autumn colors on that farm really pop out, strong and splendid ~~~
