Celebration of 100th post and more - girl on beach shot to warmup before winter

sissi · 21st of October 2006 (Sat)

Ok, celebrating my 100th post here

and almost 8 years since self/photography is my serious hobby (and that time at school too). Today 7 years ago i got my (really my) first camera

.

Self shot from africa this summer, tripod and simple passive reflector.

(i know colors are off a bit but i like it as warm it is and the sand really had this color - rather pink)

I'm not sure about the buoy in the foreground. Maybe it could be removed to see how it the image would look.

I like the strong body tone (shape and tan). Also, being topless gives the impression of freedom and being female.

Sand doesn't look pink on my screen.

I like the photograph although I think it would have shown a tad better without the buoy on the left.

You say, "self/photography"...Is that you? You look very...ummm, fit.

Sand looks fine on my monitor also. Perhaps a calibration is in order. Very nice shot. I would not remove the buoy as I think it adds to the photo, gives perpsective, and helps to add balance. Thanks for sharing.

The 'pink' adds to the feel of the picture. Also quite like the buoy, think it could go either way but its kind of cool that theres two yellow objects in the picture.

And purely out of curiosity do you have the subject returning from their swim :P

Wondering if the swimsuit was originally yellow, or if it has been changed to match the color of the buoy?

Very good shot showing the vastness of the ocean compared to a person. I really like it as is.

Yes

and since it is selfshot with timer, also lot of creepy tryouts in middle

it is that yellow, not that i would buy swimsuit to match buoys, but when i seen that buoy in the ocean i god the idea of nice (for me) composition.

Thanks to others also for nice comments.

I love the feel of this shot and like the use of the Buoy, as Doc says. I'd like to see a 'widescreen' style crop, but is good as it is too of course. Just seems the focus of the shot is your entry into the vastness of the Ocean and so the sky and sand are not adding much, tho' you need to keep some of each.

thank you. I usually prefer to post unedited photos, croping, color, etc is than matter of preference when somebody orders the print. maybe little wider would really look better.
