The Bee Keeper

Tori is a bee keeper, the same as her father. She was keen for a portrait session in all of her gear, but inside the warehouse where I have my make-shift studio set up there are smoke alarms connected to sprinklers. 
We decided to we could risk only a very short time with the smoker inside the building, so we went outside to light the smoker and get things ready. Once it was prepped, the plan was to quickly run inside to catch two or three frames in the studio, and run back outside before the smoke built up enough to set off the sprinklers. The plan was a success and we got our shots in the studio. This one was taken outside in the yard as Tori was getting the smoker ready for the shoot. 

SL2 + M-mount 50mm APO.

Excellent, and nobody got wet.  May we see the inside shots?

The inside shots were taken on a non-Leica camera so I can’t really post them here, but you can see one on my instagram with the smoke going: https://www.instagram.com/p/C4iFMk7PUEx/?igsh=NXdzcjVwN3F1enQx

Thanks Lex, unfortunately the others weren't taken on a Leica camera so I usually wouldn't post here but here are a few from the session at a reduced size to give you an idea of what we shot;
