NEW #BRAMLEYAPPLE BLOSSOMING ON THE 🍏 TREE…

Everything got wrong yesterday.
There was so much traffic when I left home with the car, that I turned back home (having lost 1 hour in the process) to get the bike instead.
I had difficulty in starting the bike because it is rarely used, but finally I managed and got to Milan in record time, half an hour before my appointment with Lia.

But my punctuality was of little use, as she was 4 hours late.
It was a pity because it turned out to become a beautiful sunny day, but we managed to make use of the last 45 minutes of it, including this spectacular golden hour light captured in today's photo with the Fujifilm GFX 50S II + "Martin" (the Zeiss T* 1,4/85mm Planar ZF named after the Patron that sponsored part of the purchase).
After about 130 frames, this last daylight was gone, and I had to play with flash and artificial lights to compensate.

And the delay was just one of the things that went wrong, but we stubbornly insisted to try shooting notwithstanding the problems.
I really wanted this shooting to happen today, and I'm glad we made it, even if it was not as I wished.
This was supposed to become my Christmas gift to my Patrons, and to myself, because you know I hate shooting during Winter, but I made an exception just to meet this model.
Being a Christmas present, you will have to wait to unwrap it, in fact this is the only photo you're going to get for the moment, and later in December it is going to be posted on regular social media also.
A few days before Christmas, I'm going to do my own advent calendar, gradually undressing Lia to give us the impression of peeling off the paper from our gift.
I usually don't make these strip-tease thing, but as she happened so near to Christmas, I guess I could make an exception...
And the first photos should be even suitable to become public posts here on Patreon, because she is going to be dressed, so also the followers not subscribed will be able to see the new model, and may be tempted to see the whole sequence by subscribing...
