I loved the spots we found around Olde Mistick Village.  The bright blue wall of the aquarium provided a much-needed shot of color (it was very gray that day).

One thing I love about group shoots like this is that you can play around with techniques and equipment you don’t usually have time to.  After playing with my 85mm lens I switched over to a tilt-shift lens, which I used to create the next two images.

For the last two images above, I decided to see how my 60mm macro would work as a portrait lens – because sometimes you want to get really close in … and I love how it worked out!

I’ll have a couple more indoor shots to post, hopefully later this week.  Huge thanks to ShootStyle for letting me tag along, I had so much fun playing with you all!
