Kayak Redux

1001

This month’s Sinful Sunday prompt, “Reshoot,” was published at the most opportune time. We had already scheduled a couple of days off work, during which we had planned a trip to the family lake house for some private photography adventures. And heaven knows there are more than a few old lake house photos that we had considered revisiting!

Our aesthetic, such as it is, has evolved a lot over the past five years. We used to post exclusively in black-and-white, even when we had the rare opportunity to shoot outdoors. And we have both learned a thing or two about posing, as well. So, please, compare the photo above to the one below, which was taken on July 19, 2013 and published a few days later. And below the photo, you’ll find those magical lips to help you visit with all of the contributors who are taking advantage of a do-over this week!

      Thanks! The older photo was one of the first outdoor shots I ever had taken, so I was really nervous! Things have changed a lot in three years. 😉 ~C

    Hmmm… we’re on the river quite a bit but unfortunately we have never seen this lovely view.

      Thank you…Though something tells me that Hunter has seen views at least equally as enticing on your river trips! 😉 ~C

    I prefer the bright primary colours of the first one. Although both have their err, attractions. 😉

      Thanks! Holden thought so, too, though I hate the slumped-over pose in the original one. ~C

    I actually really love both of them. The bright colours of the new one feel fresh and outdoorsy, but I love the depth and mystery of the black and white one. Xx

      Thank you, lovely! It was a pleasure to go back and revisit some older shots to see what we could make of them with time and experience added… 🙂 ~C

      Very kind of you, dear! We actually couldn’t help ourselves and re-made two others, also. So now we have posts for this evening and tomorrow, as well, on the same theme. Hope you’ll check those out, too!

    I really love both of them, as even though the image seems the same, both seem to have different stories to tell. Like Exposing 40 said, there’s a different feel to the two images. Both are lovely!

      Thank you, Rebel! It’s amazing how the edit sets the mood — Both were shot with playful intentions, but the edit on the old one is so gloomy and betrays its caption. ~C

    I love both of them but they are both very different. The black and white has a aged quality to it and reminds me of stills from an old movie whereas the colour version feels much more vibrant and playful

      It was a very inspiring prompt, Molly! And it came at a perfect time, too. We are constantly revisiting concepts from past attempts, and so we took to this idea right away. 🙂 ~C

      We are happy to hear contrasting opinions, so long as they are delivered cordially! 😉 Thank you!

      Thank you very much! Hope you enjoy looking at the next two, as well, while we revisit a couple of others from three years ago at the lake house… 😉 ~C

    Oh – I love how those bright kayak colors pop against the trees! I like how they’re reflected in the water, too. I’d love to come ashore to find a sexy lady like you snoozing under a hat on a summer afternoon!

    I love both of them! Black and white and colour, and the evolution of cute hats! As model and photographer you’re both a credit to your local river. Great photos!

      How lovely of you to say! Thank you! This was a much prettier location for shooting than the stagnant creek in the older shot, though it was a bit less private… 😉

    I love them both for different reasons. The colour one has confidence whereas there is something so alluring about the shy, coy pose in the B&W one.

    1. H and C Post author

      Thank you very much! Though I certainly have never been accused of being coy! Not me! 😉 ~C

  9. sassycoupleok

    Both photos are beautiful as are both breast. However the B/W adds that touch of erotica. 🙂

    These are fantastic! I love your approach to photography, you always tell a story in your images. As many people have said, I like both photos for different reasons, the color is almost like an advertisement for a resort (a certain type of resort, of course). The second is, as Molly mentioned, like a still from an old movie. Really fantastic!

      How very kind of you, Maria! Thank you! We’d be happy to see the color photo on a nudist resort pamphlet. 😉 It was a pleasure to go back and take another stab at the idea. ~C
