Honeymoon Portraits...

Maui Kim · 30th of June 2007 (Sat)

I have done 2 of these sessions this week. They seem just like engagements so I posted them here.

This couple wanted 2 hours of shooting. I took Joanna (islandweddingphoto) with me. We drove to the west side of the island, about 1 hour from our homes. There was a fire that closed the one and only road home so we were stuck for quite some time. Once the road opened around 10pm we made it home safetly. What a day! Thanks Joanna.

Wow. I'm blown away. Amazing shots! I especially like #7 - it's definetly my favorite.

Great stuff!

Thank you

Kim, do you mind if I pick your brain a bit?

How were the majority of these lit?

Maui Kim · 30th of June 2007 (Sat)

No problem...It was a very bright day! I used my 580 ex on high sync most of the day. The siloutte shots..no flash at all.

Would you mind sharing your settings for #7? Where was your focal point in the picture? Did you shoot in M, P, AV, TV? Did you over or underexpose and fix it in photoshop? I have been wanting to know how to achieve this look.

Maui Kim · 30th of June 2007 (Sat)

I used P mode..didn't under or over expose. #7 is basically straight out of camera other that converting to Jpeg. My focus point was on the couple. No flash.

italianfemmy · 30th of June 2007 (Sat)

Thanks Maui. What ISO and focal length did you use?

PixelChick78 · 30th of June 2007 (Sat)

ADORE #3!!!!!!! WOW!

getabetterpic · 30th of June 2007 (Sat)

Wow, these are great. The only one that threw my eye was the boat in #7. But that may be cuz I'm a boat geek.

HI Kim, great job! I love 2, 3, 6, and 7. I think I like 3 the best - that tree was so cool.

It was my pleasure assisting you and sporting your new shootsac

Makes me want to buy one! And being stuck out there was kind of a fun adventure. At least the road opened back up for us.

Some nice skies there! Wow. I'm jealous. I wish we had more pollution!! hahaha

That's cute that they're on a hammock. So... do they just have like, public hammocks scattered randomly across the beaches or something?
